Cluster size distribution of uptaken silver NPs. Histogram and cumulative distribution function of all silver NPs within the cell. The absolute dose of silver NPs within the cell was 3138 ± 722. Although only a few clusters with a size larger than 20 NPs were present in the cell, most NPs were located in these larger clusters (~53%). Only 9% of all silver NPs were found in very small clusters (cluster size 1–5, corresponding histogram not shown). The binning width for the histogram is 10 silver NPs. The left y-axis corresponds to the histogram and the right y-axis to the cumulative distribution function
