a Examples of ruffling morphologies of the condensate-membrane interface seen in bright field and confocal cross-sections. b 3D reconstructions of GUVs in contact with glycinin condensates showing the different ruffled morphologies (see also Supplementary Fig. 4). c 3D STED imaging resolves characteristic features of the fingered regions in the submicrometer range (see also Supplementary Fig. 5). d Intensity line profiles along the indicated dashed lines in the micrographs in (c) allow for an estimation of the finger thickness (left corresponds to the first image and right to the second one as indicated by the numbers in (c)). All scale bars: 5 µm.
