Summary

[edit]
Description

Two PIF imaging tools enabled researchers to prove that the 30-nanometer gold particles were actually inside neural progenitor cells-a new capability. The micrograph at (a) shows the cell after exposure to the nanoparticles. A focused ion beam was used to mill away portions of the cell to reveal the interior. Researchers can mill an entire cell to reveal multiple cross-sections obtaining information about nanoparticle uptake. Image (b) shows a cutaway view of the cell corresponding to the dotted line in (a). The arrow points to a cluster of nanoparticles, which were then imaged with high resolution by a helium ion microscope (c), revealing nanoparticles (light-colored dots) near the cell membrane.
