Fig. 6.
In situ time-lapse AFM images (a–d) of a POPC SLB with packing defects. The stability test shows that it is stable for 2.5 h (b). After 2.5 h, the defects start to grow (c) and result in complete damage of the bilayer (d). An image taken from a different spot after 8 h is shown in (e). The bilayer was imaged again after 24 h (f). Images are 20×20 μm
