CBNI is Ireland's National Platform for BioNanoInteraction science, and draws together specialists from its Universities, Institutes and companies. It is one of the world's leading Centres of Knowledge in bionanointeractions applied to the fields of nanosafety, nanobiology and nanomedicine, and is pioneering many of the new techniques and approaches in the arena. It has strong links and co-operations with academia, institutions, industry, and governments world-wide. |
Confocal microscopy images (Zeiss LSM 510 META, 63X magnification) of cells exposed to either 50nm green fluorescent polystyrene nanoparticles (top panel) or 30 nm red fluorescent silica nanoparticles (bottom panel). In each panel, the first image is the blue channel (showing the nuclei stained blue), the second image is the green or red channel showing the location of the nanoparticles, and the third image is a composite of the two channels, showing that the nanoparticles are in the cell cytoplasm and in the perinuclear regions of the cells. |
