Confocal microscopy: Liposomes Jorge Bernardino de la Serna captured these images, a collection of “giant liposomes of pulmonary surfactant (40X)”. Liposomes are small vesicles that are made of lipid bilayer - the same material found in cell membranes. They are usually formed upon membrane disruption, resulting in the reorganisation of lipids into these bilayer structures.
