(a) CLSM experiment for visualizing the spatial distribution of the passivating film in NT-mSiO2 platelets (cross-section view, the passivating layer is shown only on one side for simplicity) and 3D CLSM reconstructions showing the spatial distribution of DPPS in NT-mSiO2 platelets (b) filled with Pluronic P123, (c) after extraction of Pluronic P123, and (d) without any pore-filling. The black rectangles indicate the regions where fluorescence was bleached. Insets show the orientation of the passivating film.
