The present application discloses methods for characterising vesicles. The method involves (1) a sample preparation step, comprising providing a test specimen with vesicles attached to a substrate, wherein the vesicles are labelled with one or more fluorescent probes, (2) an image acquisition step, comprising imaging said one or more fluorescent probes on the vesicles to generate image data, (3) an image processing step which identifies individual vesicles and constructs a feature vector containing characterising parameters for individual vesicles characterising parameters (including a morphological parameter) (4) a data transformation step to calculate modified feature vectors of lower dimensionality for individual vesicles and (5) a characterisation step, which characterises the vesicles based on the modified feature vectors. The application also discloses methods for immobilising vesicles on a substrate, as well as substrates functionalised to capture vesicles.
