Moss leaf cells. Polarised light micrograph of cells in a leaf of shining Hookeria moss (Hookeria luscens). Two whole cells (vertical) are seen at centre,surrounded by parts of other cells. The leaf is made up of a single layer of cells,and so the light micrograph shows the cell structure well. A cell wall (blue) encloses each cell,and numerous chloroplasts (green,round) are seen in each cell. The chloroplasts contain the pigment chlorophyll,which the plant uses for photosynthesis | |
