The effects of SiO2 NPs on gross morphological features of zebrafish embryos. (a) Representative images of embryos exposed to positively charged SiO2 NPs (25 nm) at 100 mg/L and (b) gross morphological changes after the exposure to 100 mg/L of 25 or 115 nm SiO2 NPs at 48 and 72 hpf. Data are represented as mean ± SD.

 

Representative fluorescence microscopy images of zebrafish embryos. (a) Images of embryos exposed to 0 (control) or 50 mg/L of positively charged SiO2 NPs (25 nm) at 24, 48, and 72 hpf and (b) embryos exposed to 25 mg/L of positively charged SiO2 NPs (25 nm) at 72 hpf.

 

Representative fluorescence microscopy images of embryos exposed to 100 mg/L of 25 or 115 nm SiO2 NPs with different surface charges at 72 hpf.
