Figure 2

Interaction and uptake of silica particles by BEAS 2B cells. Scanning Electron Micrographs of BEAS 2B cells. Unexposed controls (A, B), exposed to cristobalite (75 × 106μm2/cm2) for 2 h (C, D), 24 h (E, F) and amorphous silica (75 × 106μm2/cm2) for 2 h (G, H) and 24 h (I, J). Panels on the left are at low magnification (500×) scale bar = 50 μm and on the right at high magnification (2500×) scale bar = 10 μm. White arrows indicate silica particles.
