Electron microscope section of fat body cells of treated 5th instar nymphs of S. gregaria sprayed with 2 mg of zinc chromium oxide. a, b View of fat body cells showing protein granules (Pr. G), lipid droplets (Li) (×4000); rough endoplasmic reticulum (rer), mitochondria (mt) (×5000) on the 3rd day post treatment. c–e Show rough endoplasmic reticulum (rer), mitochondria (mt) (×6700); nucleus (Nu) with chromatin clumps (ch), lipid droplets (Li) (×2700); haemoglobin cells pierced with the trachea (Tr) (×4000) on the 5th day post treatment. f Protein granules (Pr. G), lipid droplets (Li) (×1400) on the 7th day post treatment. g–i Show Protein granules (Pr. G) and crystals of nanoparticles (4000, 2700, ×6700) on the 7th day post treatment. j Crystals of ZnCrO around the tissues of fat body (×4000) on the 7th day post treatment
