Epifluorescence microscopic observation of monolayers of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine: dependence of domain size on compression rates.
A fluorescence microscopic technique was used to observe phase transitions in monolayers of DPPC. The sizes of the domain structures observed were found to be dependent on the rate of compression of the monolayer. The distribution of domain sizes for different rates of compression were unimodal, but the scatter in the sizes was greater during slow compressions.
