From: Imaging of nanoparticle dynamics in live and apoptotic cells using temporally-modulated polarization

Overlapping live GNR-loaded cells are clearly distinguished by the PMLI. The suspected cells, crawling one on top of the other during the apoptosis, are virtually indistinguishable by the conventional BF microscopy (top), yet their contours are clearly visible by the PMLI (bottom). The same field of view is shown by both techniques, with the intensity values normalized for comparison. The insets on the right zoom onto the areas marked by the dashed red rectangles. The scale bars (cyan) correspond to 10 μm.
