SUMMARY A versatile and inexpensive, but fully equipped apparatus is presented, which enables detailed optical studies on amphiphilic molecules at the liquid-gas interface. Structural and spectroscopic information, particularly in small areas of single domains of phase-separated monolayers, can be achieved by combination of this miniaturized Langmuir trough and spectralphotometer microscope. The potential of this apparatus is demonstrated with some measurements on a diyne-substituted polymerizable lipid analogue at the air-water interface.
