LCP microcrystallization in glass wells. (a) A string of LCP suspension (here 40 µl) is dispensed into each well of a nine-well glass plate. Crystals of ba3-type cytochrome c oxidase are visualized in a stereo microscope after three days of incubation at 20°C (b) under polarized light at a magnification of 40 and at magnifications of (c) 50 and (d) 135. Crystal formation can be monitored over time and the crystal quality, shape and density are clearly visible. |
