Go in to a not-for-profit hospital and ask to be directed to the
Medical Library. Almost all not-for-profit hospitals allow the
medical library to be accessed by the public (not that they adversise
it or anything *grin*), because then they can write-off it's costs as
"charity donations to the public". Find a good book on the
physician's practice of Urology. The thicker it is and the more
volumes in it, the better. :-) "Semen Analysis" in the index should
do you... it's pretty simple. You just need a blood cell counting
well and a microscope.
