Figure 1. Membrane deformation of polymersomes observed following optical excitation.

Figure 1

(A) Distribution of types of polymersome deformation that occur for each MW of dextran encapsulated. (B) Membrane rupture of a dextran encapsulated polymersome following optical excitation (λex = 458, 488, 515, 543, and 63 nm; laser power = 33 mW) is the most common type of deformation that occurred. (C) Frequency of deformation events for different dextran MWs.
