Particle shape-dependence of macrophage-particle attachment. SEM images of particle attachment to macrophages including (A–C) spheres, (D–F) rods, and (G–I) disks of ESD (A,D,G) 0.5µm, (B,E,H) 1µm, and (C,F,I) 3 µm. (J) Quantification of attachment densities by shapes and sizes described in (A–I), and attachment propensity of particles by longest particle dimension.21 Adapted with permission from reference #21.
