title: Determination by photon correlation spectroscopy of particle size distributions in lipid vesicle suspensions.
abstract: A method of determining particle size distributions in lipid vesicle preparations is outlined. A vesicle suspension is modeled as a polydisperse mixture of spherical shells. The distribution of particle sizes in this mixture is approximated by a continuous, piecewise linear function called a first-order spline. Excellent simultaneous fits to photon correlation spectroscopy data gathered at several different angles are presented. An error analysis is included to indicate the resolution of the method.
