Direct observation of domains in wet lipid bilayers
SW Hui
and
DF Parsons
Domain structure and phase separation in hydrated lipid bilayers have been imaged directly by selected reflection dark-field electron microscopy. Domains in multicomponent bilayers are much smaller than those in single component bilayers, in agreement with results obtained by selected area electron diffraction.
