Air-Water Interface

Imaging Ellipsometry

The air/water interface is of elementary interest in biophysics as well as in industrial applications. Brewster angle microscopy (BAM) is a powerful technique that allows for real-time visualization of Langmuir-Blodgett monolayers.

BAM applications visualize biological materials and systems, and enable the investigation of amphiphilic molecules, proteins, drugs, extracts, DNA, nanoparticles etc. at the air-water interface.
