Summary Ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS) is a mutagenic alkylating agent that induces marked elevations of sperm abnormalities in mice. In this paper, we report the ultrastructural findings on the morphology of the seminiferous epithelium of mice resulting from EMS administration. Eight‐ to twelve‐week...
