Image of mouse egg after intracytoplasmic sperm injection. A filamentous actin cap (red) has formed over the decondensing sperm head (DNA in blue), displacing cortical granules (green) from that region. Some cortical granules have undergone exocytosis in response to sperm‐induced calcium release, as detailed in Miao and Williams (this issue).
