Defined micelles: A completely uniform and structurally precise micelle spontaneously formed by exactly seven amphiphilic dendro‐calixarene molecules in aqueous solution has been determined by cryo‐TEM and 3D reconstruction techniques. The picture shows seven calixarene head groups, which have been fit visually into the reconstructed density map of the micelle.
