15. Although the original gelled sample had a thickness of 1300 ̄m, the sample became somewhat swollen during storage in water and was thicker after it was taken out from the cell.
16. This implies that 104107 atoms are contained in one stripe, provided that the dimension of the atoms is 0.1 nm. The lattice spacing of the colloidal crystals used here was about 200 nm. Therefore, the number of lattice units between two stripes (in a distance ca. 0.3 mm) is estimated to be about 2 © 103, which is somewhat smaller than it would be in an atomic system.
