Fig. 2From: Biological applications of the NanoSuit for electron imaging and X-microanalysis of insulating specimensInsect larvae. A–E Drosophila larva irradiated with plasma for 3 min observed using SEM for 60 min. A Schematic drawing. B to D SEM images. E TEM image. Arrowhead = extra surface layer. F–J Mosquito Culex pipiens molestus larva (no extracellular substances) irradiated with plasma for 3 min observed using SEM for 30 min. F Schematic drawing. G–I SEM images. Arrowhead (H and I) = area of electrostatic charging. Arrows (I) = furrows with wrinkles. J TEM image. K–O Mosquito larva irradiated with electron beam and treated with plasma-irradiated Tween 20. K Schematic drawing. L–N SEM images. Arrows (N) = furrows without wrinkles. O TEM image. Arrowhead = extra surface layer. Bars = 0.3 mm (B, C, G, H, L, and M), 1 μm (D, I, and N), and 0.2 μm (E, J, and O). From Takaku et al. 2013 with permission from the publisherBack to article page
