TLDR
In this article, the potential of reflectometry and microscopy at the Brewster angle was investigated and it was shown that formation of a monolayer at this air-water interface leads to a measurable reflectivity depending on various film properties.About:

Polarization-Modulated FT-IR Spectroscopy of a Spread Monolayer at the Air/Water Interface
D. Blaudez,Thierry Buffeteau,J. C. Cornut,Bernard Desbat,N. Escafre,Michel Pézolet,J. M. Turlet +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented complete mid-infrared monolayer spectra perfectly extracted from the strong water vapor bands using the polarization-modulated IRRAS method, which is not sensitive to the isotropic absorptions of the sample environment.

A Close Look at Domain Formation in DPPC Monolayers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the features of Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) domain shapes throughout the coexistence region and found that the basic domain shape is an asymmetric "bean" with a flattened lobe and a distinct cavity.

Effects of Hofmeister anions on DPPC Langmuir monolayers at the air-water interface
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of sodium salts of different monovalent anions belonging to the Hofmeister series on Langmuir monolayers of DPPC (1,2-dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine) was investigated.

Morphological and Structural Characteristics of Monoglyceride Monolayers at the Air−Water Interface Observed by Brewster Angle Microscopy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the morphology of monolayer domains for some typical lipids used as food emulsifiers (monopalmitin, monoolein, and monolaurin) and propound the utility of BAM for quantitative characterization of the relative film thickness as a function of the lipid and surface density.

Direct visualization of monolayers at the air-water interface by Brewster angle microscopy
Dirk Hoenig,D. Moebius +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the formation of a monolayer on the water surface modifies the Brewster angle condition, and light reflection is observed, and areas of different brightness due to different molecular density and/or refractive index in the monolayers have been recorded with a video system as micrographic pictures.

Microscope at the Brewster angle: Direct observation of first‐order phase transitions in monolayers
Sylvie Hénon,Jacques Meunier +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a microscope employing the characteristics of the reflection at the Brewster angle has been built for the study of first-order phase transitions in monolayers and the growth of two-dimensional domains without adding fluorescent impurities.

Two-dimensional chiral crystals of phospholipid.
TL;DR: It is reported that when DPPC monolayers are more rapidly compressed, at a rate of a 2% decrease in area per second, chiral solid domains of lipid are formed, providing direct visual evidence for long range orientational order in two-dimensional crystals.

A Fluorescence Microscopic Study Concerning the Phase Diagram of Phospholipids
TL;DR: The phase diagram of phospholipid monolayers using fluorescence microscopic and thermodynamic techniques is investigated in this article, where images recorded using low light level camera tubes show patterns of inhomogeneities in the condensed as well as in the expanded states.
