(a) A schematic drawing to illustrate in vivo magnetic targeting with intravenous injection; (b) Fluorescent and BF images by Maestro imaging of extracted retinas: untreated retina (left), retina close to an external magnet (middle) and retina opposite to magnet side (right); (c) Quantitative analysis of fluorescence image shown in (b); (d) Light microscopy image showing the Prussian blue iron staining followed by counterstaining with nuclear fast red of targeted eye. Scale bar = 100 µm; (e) Biodistribution of particles in mice after magnetic targeting. Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) quantification of iron in organs collected from three test groups: untreated control mice, injected mice and magnet targeted injected mice; (f) Images of H&E stained organs collected from control and MNPs injected mice 18 days after injection.
