Abstract
Individual polymer-like micelles formed in aqueous mixtures of lecithi n and bile salt were quantitatively investigated using cryo-transmissi on electron microscopy (cryo-TEM). The overall size obtained from cryo -TEM agrees with results from independent light-scattering measurement s on the same sample. This demonstrates that cryo-TEM experiments not only provide direct structural information but furthermore enable a qu antitative determination of bulk properties of individual micelles.
