Location of nanoparticles in young adult C. elegans, using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). (a–c) Free particles (a: 100 nm, b: 1 μm, c: 40 nm) imaged with TEM; (d) 40 nm particles aggregates in the intestine; (e) 100 nm particles aggregates in the intestine lumen; (f) 40 nm particles aggregate in body muscle tissue (m.t.), close to epidermis (e) and cuticle (c). Dotted circles indicate particles’ aggregates in all panels.
