Microscopic images of cells treated with various concentrations after 24 h. (A) HeLa cells after treatment with various concentrations (6.25 µg/mL, 12.5 µg/mL, 25 µg/mL, 50 µg/mL and 100 µg/mL) of the ZnO nanoparticles from shilajit extract and reference standard cisplatin. (B) Normal Vero cells after treatment with various concentrations (6.25 µg/mL, 12.5 µg/mL, 25 µg/mL, 50 µg/mL and 100 µg/mL) of the ZnO nanoparticles (synthesized from an aqueous extract of shilajit). Cells were observed and photographed by inverted microscopy (20×).
