Image: Bilayer AFM schematic

Description: Illustration of a typical result from an AFM scan of a supported lipid bilayer. The bilayer shown here has several defects which appear as pits. By measuring the distance from the top of the bilayer to the substrate it is possible to determine the thickness of the bilayer.
