A widely used method to measure the bending rigidity of bilayer membranes is fluctuation spectroscopy, which analyses the thermally-driven membrane undulations of giant unilamellar vesicles recorded with either phase-contrast or confocal microscopy. Here, we analyze the fluctuations of the same vesicle using both techniques and obtain consistent values for the bending modulus. We discuss the factors that may lead to discrepancies.
一种广泛用于测量双层膜弯曲刚度的方法是波动光谱法,该方法分析通过相差显微镜或共聚焦显微镜记录的巨型单层囊泡的热驱动膜波动。在这里,我们使用这两种技术分析同一个囊泡的波动,并获得了弯曲模量的一致值。我们讨论了可能导致差异的因素。
