Should two electrons, in the same field, be considered as indistinguishable, if one is in a bound state and the other unbound (thus detectable)??

For example, how should we write the wave function of a system, where an incident prepared electron collides with an atom? Should it be unti-symmetrized in spite of the fact that the incident...

Comparing Liposome Size: DLS Measurement vs. SEM Observation with Air Drying ?

I have an issue with SEM imaging of liposomes. When measured by DLS, they appear to be around 120 nm, but when using SEM with simple air drying, they appear much larger, around one micrometer.
