Raman-active gold nanoparticles as beacons in breast cancer cells
Raman Microspectroscopy image of HeLa cell incubated with gold nanoparticles
HeLa cell analyzed using Vertex Component Analysis (VCA) to identify the subtle subcellular changes induced by nanoparticle internalization. Using pseudo color imaging, information was obtained to locate the nucleus/nucleoli (blue), cytoplasm (green) and a small nanoparticle inclusion (red).
