Figure 1

Microscopic observation of calcification of an internodal cell of C. globularis from 2 lakes. I. SEM micrograph (back scattered electron image) (A, B and D) and an EDS image for mapping calcium (C) a section of an internodal cell (AC and D: 18th and 21th from the tip of a thallus, respectively). Scale bars: 100 μm. II. SEM micrograph (backscattered electron image) of cross (A)- and longitudinal (B) sections of internodal cells (A and B: 8th and 6th cell from the tip of the plant, respectively). Scale bars: 100 μm. Samples from Yuno Lake (I) and Oito Pond (II). Arrows in I-D and II-B show an area of calcification.
