 |
| Micrasterias rotata, another specimen, center of the cell; focal plane on the condensed RNA of the nucleolus. The chloroplast seems to be filled with raspberry-like structures (the arrow marks one of them) which are considered to be the stacks of thylakoids (see the image below). (2) |

| Micrasterias rotata, when water under the coverslide evaporates and the cell gets compressed not only lipid droplets start to leak at the tips of the cell but also some structured buckyball-like bodies (arrows, see below) whih may also be dictyosomes. (2) |
