Fig 1. Representative confocal fluorescence images of lipid layers formed on PDMS, ox-PDMS, and glass immediately after preparation.

Fig 1

A uniformly fluorescent lipid layer was present on all the surfaces after the fusion of SUVs. The layer on PDMS appeared to have a qualitatively lower intensity compared to the layers on ox-PDMS and glass. Unfused small unilamellar vesicles (SUV) appeared as bright compact spots on the lipid layers. The lower images are schematic diagrams of the configuration of the lipid molecules on the respective surfaces. Lipids form a monolayer on the PDMS, bilayers on ox-PDMS, and bilayers on glass. Scale bar 10 μm.
