. X-ray fluorescence (XRF, left) maps (100 nm pixel size) for the Zn signal and differential phase contrast (DPC, right) image for morphological inspection of the adsorbed structures measured at the hard X-ray nanoprobe (I14 beamline). Zn-particles from the sunscreen were deposited on the pristine microplastics after incubation in seawater (top row) while ZnO nanomaterials were deposited on the microplastics leached from the exfoliating cleanser after incubation in seawater as well (bottom row).
