Abstract
Atomic force microscope (AFM) images of vesicle-bilayer complexes formed by adsorbing small unilamellar devices (SUVs) onto mica to form a continuous membrane and allowing excess vesicles to settle onto the membrane were obtained. Depth measurements showed the formation of a continuous supported membrane. Mechanical and structural evidence indicate that the adsorbed structures truly are individual lipid vesicles. The morphology of the adsorbed structures was found to be a function of lipid composition.
