Why nulling ellipsometry?
Nulling Ellipsometry advantage 1:
• highest sensitivity for ultra-thin films
Nulling Ellipsometry advantage 2:
• highest accuracy
Nulling Ellipsometry advantage 3:
• good for imaging – enhanced ellipsometric contrast

Supported lipid bilayer
A lipid bilayer is a thin polar membrane made of two layers of lipid molecules. These membranes are flat sheets that form a continuous barrier around cells. The lipid bilayer is one of the most important self-assembled structures in nature.
Solid supported lipid bilayers are an excellent model system for studying the surface chemistry of membranes and cell. A wide variety of surface-specific analytical techniques can be used to investigate processes such as cell signaling, ligand–receptor interactions or enzymatic reactions occurring at the cell surface
