Figure 6

Membrane disruption evaluation by STEM HAADF-EDX. (a,e) Image of a microparticle inside an endolysosome. (b,f) Detail of the membrane surrounding the microparticle of the areas highlighted in (a,e) with the transect (line) and area (rectangle) analyzed. (c,g) Os EDX-counts profile. (d,h) 3D image of the membrane. The upper panel corresponds to a microparticle surrounded by an intact membrane (DT), with a clear Os EDX-peak and a well-defined 3D image of the membrane. The bottom panel corresponds to a blurred membrane (irradiated), with a considerably broader Os EDX-peak and a 3D image of the membrane.
