a Optical micrograph of an IL-in-oil Pickering emulsion-based microreactor housing SCs; the inset showing the droplet size distribution. b Cryo-TEM image of a frozen SCs-containing water droplet in oil. c Magnified cryo-TEM image of (b) showing the interface of the SCs-containing microreactor. d Confocal laser scanning microscopy image of the microreactor within which SCs were dyed with Rhodamine B and the solid particle emulsifier was dyed with FITC-I; inset shows its 3D image. e Confocal laser scanning microscopy image of the microreactors within which Ti/SCs were dyed with Rhodamine B (red). f Confocal laser scanning microscopy image of the microreactors within which CALB/SCs were dyed with FITC-I (green); 3D image shows the distribution of SCs within the microreactor and the fluorescence intensity profile along its diameter. g Confocal laser scanning microscopy image of the biomimetic microreactor containing FITC-I-labeled SCs and Rhodamine B-labeled SCs. h 3D confocal laser scanning microscopy image for the biomimetic microreactor in (g). i Fluorescence intensity profiles showing the distribution of the two different fluorescently labeled SCs.
