Internalization of mSiO2-Eu(TTA)3(Phen-Si) in MDA-MB231 cancer cells after exposure to NPs (overnight, 0.1 mg·mL−1). (a) Representative bright field images + UV excitation ( : 365 nm, the blue color comes from the nucleus colored with DAPE used to help cells detection). (b) UV excitation ( : 365 nm) and time gated detection of Eu(TTA)3(Phen-Si).
