Morphology of PC 12 cells exposed to THz. (a) Representative SEM micrographs of control PC 12 cells and PC 12 cells exposed to LI, MI and HI THz for 10 min. Cells exposed to LI THz are observed to exhibit significant membrane blebbing. (b) 3D volume reconstruction of serial blockface FIB-SEM of PC 12 cells with surface blebs exposed to LI THz. Yellow arrows indicate blebs. (c) Phase contrast images of PC 12 cells with blebs. (d) Graph of the cell area distribution after different exposure intensities, as determined by CLSM imaging. (e) Size analysis of cell blebs for each exposure group. Statistical significance is denoted by *** p < 0.01.
