Flower Power
Spincoated lipid membrane on a glass coverslide made of DOPC and DPPC in the ratio 1:1
The flower domains become visible when cooled in a hydrated state.

Drop of oil in a green sea
Oil droplet labeled with Rhodamine-DHPE (red)
and calcein (green) in the external solution. The photo shows a distinct pattern of labeling near the top of the oil droplet.
The droplet is approximately 100 microns in diameter.

Blue tulip
Fluorescent microscopy image of the top of a gland in the skin of a mouse. The gland ensures that the fur of the mouse is smooth and soft.
The gland is also present in humans and the lipid within the gland is colored blue.

Ceramide facettes
Mixture of 85% POPC and 15% ceramide3 (mol%) labeled with DiIC18 (green) and Bodipy (red).
DiIC18 dye prefers to be in the gel phase while the Bodipy dye prefers to be in the fluid phase of the lipid mixture. This clearly indicates that POPC/Ceramide3 binary lipid mixture has phase coexistence of gel/fluid phase.
The gel domains are more flat and straight which was observed first time in this kind of mixture.

Lipid Gymnastics
Computer modelling of chain reversal of oxidized lipids in a lipid bilayer composed of POPC lipids and oxidized PazePC lipids. The image shows a simulation snapshot of the chain reversal of a carboxyl-group containing lipid acyl chain reversing into the aqueous phase.
