Structural Configuration of Myelin Figures Using Fluorescence Microscopy

Figure 3

Wide-area fluorescent micrographs illustrating three major types of tubule morphologies observed upon the hydration of dry stack lipid doped with 1 mol% Texas Red by water above their phase transition temperature. (a) Solid tubes: large number of lamellar. (b) Thin tethers: low number of lamellae with small core radius. (c) Hollow tubes: low number of lamellae with large core radius.
