Five images.

First:	Synoptic representation of the upper cell wall.
Second:	Detail: Representation of the pores (arrow) in the cell wall through which the protective mucus is secreted.
Third:	Optical cross-section through the chloroplasts showing parts of the lobed chloroplast and storage substances (oil droplets and crystals).
Fourth:	The optical cross section through the cell shows parts of the lobed chloroplast and storage substances (crystals).
Fifth:	The optical cross section through the cell shows pyrenoids and storage substances (crystals). In the pyrenoids, the cell produces the storage substance starch, which is deposited as a shell around them, which can be clearly seen here.
