Microscopic images of differently sized artificial cells showing separation.

Caption

From left to right are: the transmission image, fluorescent image of polymer A, fluorescent image of polymer B, and their composite image. The diameters of the artificial cells are 13 micrometers (i), 18 micrometers (ii, iii), and 28 micrometers (iv). Phase separation is seen in the small artificial cells (i-iii), but not in the large artificial cell (iv).
