Three-dimensional structures of the macrophage. (a) The isosurface rendering at 1189 eV showing characteristic features of the macrophage, such as pseudopods, rough surfaces and flat shapes. These features indicate that the immune cell was in a highly active state. The same slices at 1189 eV (b) and 1186 eV (c) perpendicular to the beam direction reveal the subcellular structures, such as low-density vacuoles. Enlarged regions of the rectangle at 1189 eV (d) and 1186 eV (e) show differences in absorption because of the presence of [Gd@C82(OH)22]n. The scale bar in (b) and (c) is 2.0 µm and that in (d) and (e) is 0.5 µm.
