Diorganotin complexes induced morphological changes in the MCF7 breast cancer cell line. Giemsa stain of cells incubated with different organotin (IV) complexes concentrations for 48 h. Cell size reduction and rounding (black arrows), cytoplasm vacuolization (2e, box), chromatin condensation and pyknotic nuclei (3e, box), apoptotic bodies (star), cell lysis and necrosis (+). Bar: 20 µm (20x).
