===== Langmuir troughs =====
Our laboratory is equipped with different Langmuir troughs, each designed for a specific purpose.

  * KSV NIMA double trough, equipped with two Wilhelmy Balances. Either Langmuir-Schaeffer or Langmuir-Blodgett film transfer on solid substrate (glass, silicon or mica) are possible.

  * [[http://www.rieglerkirstein.de/LBtroughs.htm|R&K]] system, that can be mounted on our Epifluorescence microscope, on the ellipsometer or on the interfacial rheometer (ISR). Three different trough can operate with this system:
    * a mini trough for measurements on proteins;
    * a larger, custom made trough for ISR and Ellipsometry;
    * a trough with a quartz window, for Epifluorescence measurements on the inverted microscope.
