Uptake of fluorescently labelled NPs by cumulus cells. Cumulus cells, nuclei in cyan and actin in magenta, support and surround the oocyte (not visible in picture) during development. Confocal microscopy images of A) control and B) NP-exposed cumulus cells. Cells were exposed to pristine 200 nm polystyrene (PS)-NPs for 23 h during maturation of the cumulus-oocyte-complex. The arrow shows one 200 nm PS nanoparticle. Scale bar is 5 µm
