Notes:
Abstract The total thickness of thin lipid films can be determined by the method of absolute or relative reflectance measurements. The film is described by the symmetrical three-layer model. By assuming equal refractive indices for the hydrocarbon layer and for the organic solution, the thickness and refractive index of the head group layer can be estimated.
