Phase separation in binary phospholipid vesicles studied using fluorescence microscopy techniques

In this thesis I study Giant Unilamellar Vesicles (GUVs) consisting of a mixture of two phospholipids with identical hydrophobic tails but different hydrophilic head groups. GUVs are between 5 and 200 microns in diameter so can be studied using optical observation techniques. This size range and mem...
