Oligomer-attack (VIDEO)
Caption
The video shows three artificial cell membranes being attacked by oligomers. The oligomers themselves are not visible, but their effect is. The membranes are coloured blue and filled with small red fluorescent dyes. When the red colour disappears, it indicates that fluorescent dye has leaked out – evidence that the oligomers have created pores.
The video is recorded at a resolution limit of 250 nanometer. Since the vesicles are 50–150 nanometer in diameter, the footage appears pixelated.
