Plasmolysis

[Carlos Vermeersch Santana]

Hello everyone! I'm new to Science Forums and I'd like to post my first topic.

I know what plasmolysis is, but I'd like you to tell/describe what the red and yellow arrows are pointing at. I'd like to know it today if possible... Thank you very much in advance!

small circle is the nucleous, large circle is what i think is the vacuole

in future, dont circle on microscope images, it makes it hard to figure out what your looking at

 

on second thought large circle may be an artifact (ie air bubble traped under the slide)

Thanks for your response. I've added the same photo without the circles. I don't think it's a trapped air bubble, because all the cells have a circular structure inside them. I also thought it was a vacuole, if the small red circle is the nucleus, it can't be the plasma membrane. Do you still think this is a vacuole?

yes its probably the vacuole in that case

just a realy pretty round one
