Abstract

In order to investigate liquid crystalline phases of hydrated phosphatidylethanolamine by electron microscopy, a negative staining technique was used. Since the presence of the different phases is a function of lipid concentration and temperature, the phosphatidylethanolamine-water system was studied at different states of swelling at constant temperature. Two phases were found to be in rather good agreement with X-ray results (lamellar and hexagonal type II), whereas in one case, the striking dimensions of an hexagonal network did not afford a definite correlation.
