Fig. 3. Bursting pores in strongly adhering vesicles; the substrate is treated with poly(L-lysine); the solution is acidic (pH 3) and has a low viscosity h₀ » 1 cpoise; (a-c) time sequences; (d) sketch of bursting and spreading; (e) growth of pores and fits in reduced units (t/t vs. r/r_c) using Eq. 4 for three different vesicles leading to: (i) t = 1.01 ± 0.05 s, r_i = 1.9 ± 0.1 mm, r_c = 11.3 ± 0.1 mm; (ii) t = 1.02 ± 0.04 s, r_i = 0.80 ± 0.05 mm, r_c = 5.6 ± 0.05 mm; (iii) t = 0.27 ± 0.01 s, r_i = 1.3 ± 0.1 mm, r_c = 8.4 ± 0.05 mm. Curve i corresponds to the pore shown in a-c.
