title: Structure analysis of polymerized phospholipid bilayer by TED and direct methods.
abstract: This paper describes the use of elastic energy filtered transmission electron diffraction combined with Direct Methods in order to study the structure of thin Langmuir-Blodgett films of a radiation sensitive diacetylene polymer (DC8.9PC). We obtain a potential map for one projection by direct phasing of zone axis patterns, and discuss experimental problems and possible solutions.
