Figure 10. Optical microscopic analysis of C. dubia before and after the interaction.

Figure 10

(A) Bright-field micrograph shows nearly transparent animal with traces of algal feed in the alimentary canal of the untreated animal. (B) Phase contrast micrograph shows natural coloration of tissues prior to the nanoparticle exposure. (C) Interacted daphinds show deposition of nanoparticle around the alimentary canal. (D) Altered coloration of the tissues can be noted in the phase contrast micrograph of interacted daphnid.
