A multifaceted approach to particle characterisation was necessary here, combining several analytical techniques to best elucidate structural complexity. These techniques included dynamic light scattering (DLS), cryo-electron microscopy with fast Fourier transform analysis (FFT), and small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS). The potential for microfluidic encapsulation of cargo into LLCs was also analysed using UV/vis and fluorescence spectroscopy.
