QELBY®-Induced Enhancement of Exclusion Zone Buildup and Seed Germination

Figure 6

Clear zones, free of microspheres, were generated around single QELBY particles in various chambers and microsphere types (a–d).
(a) QELBY particles in polycarboxylate-coated 2-μm microsphere suspension (8-well chambered Permanox slide)
(b) QELBY particles in polystyrene-coated 2-μm microsphere suspension (8-well chambered Permanox slide)
(c) QELBY particles in polycarboxylate-coated 2-μm microsphere suspension (glass slide chamber)
(d) QELBY particles in hollow glass microsphere suspension (8-well chambered Permanox slide)
