In the lumen of a seminiferous tubule, you would find **spermatozoa**.
The seminiferous tubules are the sites of sperm production (spermatogenesis) in the testes. During this process, spermatogonia (the germ cells) undergo mitosis and meiosis to eventually develop into spermatids, which then mature into spermatozoa. By the time they reach the lumen of the tubule, they are fully developed spermatozoa.
**Spermatogonia** are found in the basal compartment (along the tubule walls) and have yet to develop into sperm. **Spermatids** are also present in the tubules but are located closer to the lumen during their development before they fully mature into spermatozoa. **Interstitial cells** (Leydig cells) are found in the interstitial spaces outside the seminiferous tubules and are not located in the lumen.
