Figure 1.
Schematic diagram of stacking of bilayers with SLD inhomogeneities (referred to as islands throughout the paper). The island-free bilayer is described by N b = 5 levels of SLD, represented by magenta (lipid polar head group), blue (alkyl chains of the lipids), cyan (the inner part of the bilayer rich in CH3 groups), blue and magenta layers, in order. The island contains N s = 3 cylindrical shells with the following levels of SLD: N 1 = 0 (white hole), N 2 = 1 (green layer), N 3 = 5 (dark magenta, dark blue, dark cyan, dark blue and dark magenta layers).
