Figure 3

OCT B-scan images of (a) water without NPs, (b) nanorods in water, (c) nanospheres in water, (d) diluted B-GNPs in water, (e) B-GNPs in water, and (f) average A-scan profiles of the water samples. Water without NPs is represented by the black continuous line, nanorods in water by the light gray continuous line, nanospheres in water by •, diluted B-GNPs by ◊, and B-GNPs by the gray continuous line.
