Movie 1

example of GUV fusion.
The movie shows the whole process of GUV fusion. Initially, a nanotube is pulled. Then the two GUVs are brought in contact and their position is then adjusted so that the contact point is aligned with the optical tweezers. For sake of time, this part of the video has been speeded up 4x. Upon activation of the optical tweezers, instantaneous fusion occurs. This part of the video has been slowed down 5x.
