Liposome Flow Cells

 * Redid calculation - got Mlipid=3.04E-5 mM or 2.29E10 liposomes
 * Made a diluted liposome solution with serial dilution - first 0.001 mM then 3.04E-5 mM
 * Put only the liposomes into a flow cell, no MTs
 * Dilution from calculation was way too low. Could only see scattered liposomes (10-20 per field of view)
 * But could see how big one liposome looks to me on the microscope
 * And I think there weren't any bare spots on the glass because it didn't look like lipids coating the glass in that way (looked like point sources)
 * Ran another flow cell, this time with 0.001 mM total lipids (the first mixture I diluted)
 * This had more liposomes in the field of view. Definitely more.  But still was not covering lysine-coated slide.
 * So I need to have a higher concentration than this. Maybe . . . 100 times?  That would be 0.1 mM total lipids
 * Scheduled for 2:30 on Friday to use microscope
