Common view of cells under an optical microscope with a magnification ×1000. (a) Control: normal prophase cells with dyed nuclei contained of visible and tangled chromosomes. (b) AgNP B-GPE 1%: osmotically damaged prophase cells with visible nuclei. (c) AgNP B-GPE 5%: irregular prophase (P) and irregular metaphase (M) cells with micronucleus (arrows). (d) AgNP B-GPE 10%: prophase (P) and irregular anaphase (A) cells with apoptosis features under osmotic shock. (e) AgNP B-GPE 1%: irregular anaphase (A) cell with not dyed nuclei and a micronucleus (arrow). (f) AgNP B-GPE 5%: irregular prophase cells. Large dark spots on the right side is the deposited of AgNP. (g) AgNP B-GPE 10%: prophase damaged cells under osmotic shock. Prophase cells with apoptosis features under osmotic shock.
