TEM images of gold-silica nanoshells at (A) low and (B) high magnification. Particles displayed an average diameter of 152 ± 10 nm (n = 215, polydispersity = 6.70%). (C) UV-Vis spectroscopy showed maximum extinction within the near-infrared water window, where light has deep penetration into tissue.
