CdTe quantum dots induce activation of human platelets: implications for nanoparticle hemocompatibility.New nanomaterials intended for systemic administration have raised concerns regarding their biocompatibility and hemocompatibility. 
CdTe quantum dots
These interactions were shown using transmission electron microscopy.  Platelet morphology was also analyzed by phase-contrast, immunofluorescence, atomic-force and transmission electron microscopy. 
Transmission electron microscopy
The effects of QDs on platelet function were investigated using light aggregometry, quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation, flow cytometry, and gelatin zymography.
