Lipid monolayers and bilayers at liquid-air and liquid-liquid interfaces are important model systems for biological membranes. The study of their molecular structure and properties by x-ray scattering methods requires special diffractometers, capable of tilting the beam at precise angles down onto the interface. The new liquid interface scattering apparatus (LISA) for the High Resolution Diffraction Beamline at PETRA III uses a non-dispersive tilting double crystal monochromator which allows reflectivity measurements without moving the sample. Here we present dedicated instrumentation for model membrane studies, specifically a newly developed experimental sample environment and first results on lipid layers at liquid interfaces.
