29. We regard κ, α, (Formula presented), and D as material parameters, unaffected by any shape changes.
30. That is, except for the trivial Euclidean modes of translation and rotation, any change in the shape S which keeps A and V constant must cost energy.

34. These phase boundaries are weakly first order 33,34 . Prolate-oblate shape fluctuations have been observed;

42. T. Wilson and C. J. R. Sheppard, Optik (Stuttgart) 59, 19 (1981), calculated the form of the expected halo for a straight-edged object, assuming a circular phase disk. They find that the position of the edge does, indeed, coincide with the profile-slope maximum. In principle, this calculation should be redone for each specific vesicle shape with the parameters of our optical system. We have not done this calculation in detail, but we estimate that any deviations from the simple crossing rule will be too small to affect our data appreciably.
43. The coordinates of the contour were averaged ten times using (Formula presented)=((Formula presented)+(Formula presented)+(Formula presented)), and an analogous expression for y.
44. Note that we do not claim to be able to resolve structures which are only 30 nm apart. It is only the relative position of the membrane which can be detected with high precision.
