Description
Summary:A scanning laser experimental installation with scattered light analyses waw developed. By this installation the morphology investigation of some molecular layers (stearic acid, tetra substituted copper phthalocyanines and bacteriorhodopsin) were carried out. This method allows us to register the dust particles, large molecule aggregates and monolayer collapse regions on the water surface. It was found that dust particles are nucleators for collapse region creation. The dynamics of the aggregation process in bacteriorhodopsin layers can also be observed by this method.
