Sperm can be seen stopping at the openings of two glands that are side by side at the left side and center of the video. This was due to the binding of the heads to the epithelial surface of the funnel-shaped entrance of the glands (Fig. 1C). The fluorescence video was taken using BZ-X TexasRed (OP-87765) filter set and then converted to gray scale using ImageJ (version 1.51j8).
