Example Alt Text
"Four confocal micrographs show increasingly heterogeneous particle organization from panel a to panel d. Panel a has a fine, nearly uniform distribution. Panels b and c show progressively larger clusters, while panel d contains broad dense aggregates separated by dark gaps. Panel a includes a 50 micrometer scale bar."
