Synthesis of Water-Soluble Iridium (III)-Containing Nanoparticles for Biological Applications

Figure 4

CLSM images of HepG2 cells incubated with the nanoparticles Ir/PGlc-NP(1) and Ir/β-1,3-glucan-NP(2) at 37°C for 2 h. (a) Fluorescence images of the nanoparticles, (b) phase contrast bright-field image, and (c) overlay images of the nanoparticles and the blank HepG2 cells. Scale bar of all the images was the same: 10 μm.
