Characterization of NP clustering through spectral analysis. a) Cumulative distribution plots of the fitted peak resonance wavelength (λres) of 40 nm Au NPs in an ambient refractive index of nr = 1.40 and targeted at CD24 and CD44 on MCF7 and SKBR3 cells in HBSS. b) Cumulative distribution plots of λres for NPs targeted at MCF7/CD24 before (red) and after (blue) treatment with m-β-CD. For each individual condition approximately 200 individual measurements were evaluated in a) and 400 in b). Histograms of the fitted peak resonance wavelengths are included in Figure S7.
