Hey /sci/,

are these considered the mesophyll cells or are these individual chloroplasts?

Much appreciated

Thanks

These look close to stoma actually but shouldn't there be more in my x40 magnification?

Chloroplasts are not visible under light microscopy. Those are most likely cells

Fair enough. Thanks. Mesophyll cells within which are the chloroplasts?

Yes, OP, they are cells. Also, which side of the leaf do you have. If you have the adaxial side, not alot of stoma would be seen, as they usually have less stomata there. Also, depending on the species, guard cells can have a very different morphology (just like the inner stomatal space)

Unfortunately I don't know which side of the leaf I have, however the adaxial/abaxial terminology rings a bell. It may be former then. Thanks.
