Figure 2

CELLDISCOVERER 7 images (i, ii, c) and CytoViva® Darkfield images of control nematodes (a and b) and a nematode exposed to the highest concentration nanogold (ii, d, f). The image also indicates the section of the organism where images are located as well as the spectral profile (e), indicating gold present in the pharynx and oocytes (d). Epidermal blisters were also observed around the vulva area (f). Asterisk indicates the vulva.
