Negative staining room temperature transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was performed as previously described [64 (link)]. Briefly, 5 µL of liposome suspension was added to previously negative glow discharged holy carbon grids (Science Service, Munich, Germany) and incubated for 10 s. After removing the excess sample with filter paper, liposomes were stained twice with 5 µL of a half-saturated uranyl acetate solution and air-dried. Samples were then transferred into a JEOL 1400Plus TEM, and images were obtained at 100 kV acceleration voltage on a TVIPS F416 4 kx4 k camera (Tietz Video and Image Processing Systems, Munich, Germany).
