Unlike electron and scanning tunneling microscopy, the use of fluorescent dyes in monolayers at the air-water interface allows the use of contrast imaging to view the monolayer in situ during compression and expansion of the film. Under ideal circumstances, one may observe the changes in monolayer phase and the formation of specific aggregate domains as the film is compressed. This technique has been used to visualize phase changes in monolayers of chiral phospholipids (McConnell et al, 1984, 1986 Weis and McConnell, 1984 Keller et al., 1986 McConnell and Moy, 1988) and achiral fatty acids (Moore et al., 1986). 

An unusually extensive battery of experimental techniques was brought to bear on these comparisons of enantiomers with their racemic mixtures and of diastereomers with each other. A very sensitive Langmuir trough was constructed for the project, with temperature control from 15 to 40°C. In addition to the familiar force/area isotherms, which were used to compare all systems, measurements of surface potentials, surface shear viscosities, and dynamic suface tensions (for hysteresis only) were made on several systems with specially designed apparatus. Several microscopic techniques, epi-fluorescence optical microscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy, and electron microscopy, were applied to films of stearoylserine methyl ester, the most extensively investigated surfactant.

Lipid samples that exhibit well-ordered phases are optimally suited for TRXRD measurements. Lack of order suggests that other techniques such as electron or scanning tunneling microscopy may prove more useful for phase identification and characterization. Alternatively, the sample may be rendered more ordered by partial desiccation and/or preferential orientation [33].

The general importance of microscopy for surface investigations is reflected in the in situ applications of optical microscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) to oxide and semiconductor electrodes. The methods were described in Chapter 4. Of equal importance for oxide and semiconductor electrodes is the application of ex situ methods like scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Several other modern techniques are also available to investigate the state of the suspension Freeze-fracture and electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy and confocal laser microscopy. 

Like electron microscopy, scanning probe microscopy (SPM) also opens a window into the world of nanometer-sized specimens and, in some cases, provides details at the atomic level. One version of SPM is scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), in which a platinum-rhodium or tungsten needle is scanned across the surface of a conducting solid. When the tip of the needle is brought very close to the surface, electrons tunnel across the intervening space (Fig. 9.23).
