Fluorescence Microscopy to Study Pressure Between Lipids in Giant Unilamellar Vesicles
Abstract
The authors developed a technique to apply high hydrostatic pressure to giant unilamellar vesicles and to directly observe the consequent structural changes with two-photon fluorescence microscopy imaging using high numerical aperture oil-immersion objectives. The data demonstrate that high pressure has a dramatic effect on the shape of the vesicles, and both fluidity and homogeneity of the membrane.
