Micrographs of the spherulitic RNA nanoparticles. (Upper left) Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image of several spherulitic RNA nanoparticles clustered together, bar = 5 µm. (Upper right) Fluorescence microscopy image of spherulitic RNA nanoparticles stained with SYBR II dye, bar = 10 µm, and a higher magnification image in the inset, bar = 5 µm. (Lower left) Low magnification SEM image of spherulitic RNA nanoparticles, bar = 10 µm, and a higher magnification SEM image in the inset, bar = 500 nm. (Lower right) High magnification SEM image showing the sheet-like substructure of the spherulitic RNA nanoparticles, bar = 500 nm. Figures reproduced with permission from ref. , © 2012 NPG.
