Observation of silica nanoparticles confirmed uniformity The large particles shown in the center are extracellular
of nanoparticle sizes. vesicles. With the ability to not only observe shapes, but
also evaluate mechanical properties, the system is
expected to be useful for identification and Drug
Delivery System (DDS) research for exosomes, liposomes,
and typical polymer micellization pathogens, and other
applications (using Nano 3D Mapping Fast).
