4. This statement does not hold true in all cases. Certain organic solvents like dimethyl sulphoxide can reversibly bleach the purple membrane. This effect can be used for fundamental studies pertaining to the photochemical reactions in the purple membrane.

9. The suspension is sonicated by inserting a needle vibrating at ultrasonic frequencies in the suspension. This process breaks up any aggregates of purple membrane patches that might cause light scattering.
10. It is important that substrate (glass) has been cleaned in an ultrasonic bath with alkaline lab detergent to remove any grease from the surface. Subsequent rinsing in distilled water to remove detergent is necessary to give a clean surface.
