Brewster angle microscope

[2] Brewster angle microscopes enable the visualization of Langmuir monolayers or adsorbate films at the air-water interface for example as a function of packing density.

When combined with a Langmuir-Blodgett Trough, observation can be performed during compression/expansion at known surface pressures.

Photochemical reactions, polymerizations and enzyme kinetics can be followed in real time.

Lee et al.[4] used a Brewster angle microscope to study optimal deposition parameters for Fe3O4 nanoparticles.

Daear et al.[5] have written a recent review on the usage of BAMs in biological applications.
