Effects of Naphthalene on DNA and RNA quantity in Amoeba proteus by using confocal laser scanning microscope

Effects of Naphthalene which is a carcinogen on changes of DNA and RNA quantities were studied with acridine orange stained cells under a confocal laser scanning microscope. It was found that DNA and RNA in amoebae nucleus and cytoplasm, reared in 0 (control), 3 and 8.85 mg/l (24h-LD50) at 0 and 12...
