Monitoring of single and double lipid membrane formation with high spatiotemporal resolution using evanescent light scattering microscopy

Nanoscale. 2016 Nov 24;8(46):19219-19223. doi: 10.1039/c6nr06726c.

Abstract

Formation and quality of single solid supported lipid membranes and double lipid membranes were investigated with single vesicle resolution using label-free evanescence light scattering microscopy (EvSM). For the formation of double lipid membranes we made use of electrostatic interaction between charged lipids and oppositely charged cations.
