(A) Typical FSC/SSC dot plot of a semen sample showing the flame-shaped region (FR) containing semen apoptotic bodies and sperm. The latter are defined by nuclear staining with DAPI (B), that also distinguishes two sperm populations named brighter and dimmer because of the different intensity of nuclear staining. Total sperm population is included in R1 region, whereas brighter sperm are in R2 region.
