摘要：

In the present study fluorescence microscopy is used in order to investigate the light-induced shape transitions of giant unilamellar vesicles. Therefore pyrene was solubilized in the lipophilic core of the bilayer which allows the transformation of the shape of unilamellar vesicles upon UV irradiation. It turns out that tubular vesicles tend to collapse after illumination forming a string of nearly monodisperse spherical pearls. Giant unilamellar spherical vesicles with small excess areas can be changed reversibly into elliptical aggregates after irradiation with UV light.
