Phase segregation into liquid-ordered and liquid-disordered domains in the presence of cholesterol in multi-component vesicular membranes, constituted from saturated and unsaturated DMPC lipids. The fluorescence images show the coexistence of various lipid phases at different concentrations of cholesterol; (a) gel-Ld at 0 mol%; (b) Lo−Ld at 30 mol%; (c) Lo−Ld at 40 mol%; and (d) no visible phase separation at 50 mol%.
