Scanning Transmission Ion Microscopy (STIM) images of body cross section (upper left image) and micro-PIXE qualitative elemental maps of Cu, S, Cl, K, Ca, Ti, and Mn taken on cross sections of P. scaber fed on food dosed with nano-TiO2 (1000 μg/g of dry wt of leaves). The Cu map denotes the location of digestive gland cells (H-hepatopancreas, composed of four digestive gland tubes, G-gut).
