If the centrally smaller and rather hyaline structures are semi-cells then, judging from their large chloroplasts I think IT IS an image of Staurastrum undergoing asexual reproduction. If you can ascertain the centrally located pyrenoid within the chloroplast in your sample then without a doubt it is an instance of asexual division of desmid cell.

Vladimir de Sales Nunes

Thanks for the answer. I've got other cases simillar to this one, your answer helped me to shed some light on it.
