According to Robertson, the unit membrane consisted of a bimolecular lipid leaflet sandwiched between outer and inner layers of protein organized in the pleated sheet configuration.
Such an arrangement was presumed to be basically the same in all cell membranes.
In the late 1950s, electron microscopy provided additional information about the structure of the plasma membrane.

unit membrane. : the limiting membrane of cells and various organelles viewed formerly as a 3-layered structure with an inner lipid layer and two outer protein layers and currently as a fluid phospholipid bilayer with intercalating proteins.
The plasma membrane is a fluid mosaic. This means that it is flexible and made up of many different types of molecules. Phospholipids form the basic structure of a cell membrane, called the lipid bilayer. Scattered in the lipid bilayer are cholesterol molecules, which help to keep the membrane fluid consistent.
