Trypan blue (a–c) and β-galactosidase (d–f) staining in the tissues of third instar larvae of transgenic Drosophila melanogaster (hsp70-lacZ)Bg ⁹ for untreated larvae (a, d) and the larvae exposed to different doses of graphene zinc nanocomposite (GZNC) for 48 hr of duration (0.199 μg/μL (b, e) and 3.996 μg/μL (c, f)) (BG: brain ganglia, SG: salivary gland, PV: proventriculus, FG: foregut, MG: midgut, HG: hindgut, MT: malpighian tubule, and GC: gastric caeca).
