Characterization of formulations through dynamic light scattering and polarized light microscopy. (A) Number distribution of particles by diameter (nm), (B) Intensity distribution of particles by diameter (nm), and (C) Volume distribution of particles by diameter (nm). (D) Hexosome exhibiting hexagonal patterns due to the birefringence of the hexagonal (HII) phase, and (E) Cubosome characterized by dark regions indicating minimal birefringence associated with the cubic phase.
