Figure 3. Scanning electron microscope images of a second diatom exposed to AgNPs, using the signals from the surface (A) and in transmission (B).

Figure 3

(C) and (D) show magnifications of the same area of the cell indicated with the dashed squares, where it is possible to detect NPs in the surface (i.e. blue arrow) or potential internalized particles (i.e. red arrow) (scale bars common to pictures (A), (B) and (C), (D) respectively).
