The previously observed eel-like motion is an optical illusion due to 2D microscopes. ... The sperm tail moves very rapidly in 3D, not from side-to-side in 2D as it was believed.

When sperm is observed under a microscope, 2D lenses create the wrong impression about the way they move The tail doesn't move from side to side, but only wiggles on one side Sperm actually roll as ...
