Fig. 1

Absorption spectra and TEM images of the gold nanorods (GNRs) grown with varying amounts of the lysine/gold precursor (Lys/Au) ratio. Various colors of the GNR solutions correspond to the absorption spectra of different Lys/Au ratios (top). Corresponding TEM images showing structural evolution (middle, also see Fig. S1). Scale bar is 30 nm.
