SOME ELECTRON MICROSCOPICAL OBSERVATIONS ON LIQUID-CRYSTALLINE PHASES IN LIPID-WATER SYSTEMS

OsO4 fixation preserves some liquid-crystalline phases of soaps and phospholipids to an extent that it is possible to observe their structure in electron micrographs of thin sections. Good agreement exists between the structure observed directly and that deduced from x-ray diffraction studies of th...
