Nanoparticle clusters are found closely associated with areas of membrane damage that reveal the underlying cytoskeleton. (a) Morphology of the damaged cell. The area in the box is seen in higher magnification in (b) as a secondary image and (c) as a backscattered image. Arrows indicate nanoparticle clusters. Size bars: (a) = 2 μm; (b)-(c) = 0.2 μm.
