This image has been assembled in Adobe
Photoshop by overlaying an optical microscope photograph and scanning
electron micrograph that has been colorized and manipulated to display
perspective.
Front: Scanning electron micrograph of
chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO) following impalement on a nanofiber
array. Background: Optical microscope image of a transformed colony of
CHO expressing green fluorescent protein from nanofiber delivered
plasmids 22 days following impalement upon DNA modified nanofiber array.
