Figure 4. Optical and FL imaging of compressed bilayers in the SFA.

Figure 4

Simultaneous monitoring of the FECO (a,d,g,j), normal optical microscope showing Newton's rings (c) and lipid domain localization (f,i,l) using FL-SFA before and during the contact time of FR4 (see Fig. 3b), and their schematics (b,e,h,k). (ac) Bare mica–mica contact; (df) two bilayers before FR2; (gi) hemifused bilayers right after high compression; and (jl) hemifused bilayers at tc∼70 min.
