Summary

CRYOMICROSCOPIC OBSERVATIONS OF THE ADHESION BETWEEN CELL-SIZE LIPOSOMES AND AN ICE/WATER INTERFACE HAVE BEEN MADE. ORDER OF MAGNITUDE ADHESIVE ENERGIES HAVE BEEN ESTIMATED TO BE 1.2 MORE OR LESS 0.5 JOULES/M2 WHICH ARE COMPARABLE TO MEMBRANE-MEMBRANE ADHESIONS FOR LIPOSOMES. THIS ADHESIVE ENERGY IS LARGE ENOUGH TO CAUSE MEMBRANE LYSIS WHICH WAS OBSERVED IN MANY CASES.
