These X-ray images illustrate a living fern thriving on arsenic. White speckles in the last picture show arsenic in its most potent form, possibly in the protein-making centers of the fern's cells.
Arsenic was not found in the floating reproductive spores, indicating that ferns might be ideal to plant safely in contaminated soil without risk of spreading the poison to other areas.
