Summary

Researchers developed a method to detect unlabeled nanoplastics within Daphnia magna using enhanced darkfield hyperspectral microscopy combined with a post-exposure histological labeling process. The study presents a new approach for identifying nanoplastic particles in model organisms without requiring pre-labeled or fluorescent plastics.

Models

This study presents a method to detect nanoplastics in a model organism through a post-exposure labeling process based on histology and enhanced darkfield hyperspectral microscopy.
