MicroBAM (Brewster Angle Microscope)
MicroBAM helps you optimize and control the quality of liquid monolayers or other thin films before deposition on solid substrates and is an essential visual tool for Langmuir film studies.
Film quality, packing density and packing patterns can be checked before transfer to substrates – avoiding unnecessary time and effort to deposit substandard films.
Optimize parameters for the production and transfer of your thin films – fine-tune barrier positions, compression speed, waiting time, temperature and subphase composition.
Precision
KSV NIMA MicroBAM provides a spatial resolution of 12 um, which together with a wide field of view, provides an optimal system for viewing film homogeneity and studying domains.
You can take still images whenever you want manually -or automatically as a function of time or surface tension/pressure.
Flexibility
MicroBAM is compatible with most of Biolin Scientific’s L&LB trays, and connects quickly via USB.
An accessory that literally gets you up and running in minutes.
- Study monolayer / thin film.
You can see phase changes, phase separation, domain formation, size, shape and packing patterns. - Follow surface reactions in real time, such as photochemical reactions, enzyme kinetics and polymerization.
- Study surfactant materials and processes such as protein adsorption or nanoparticle flotation.

Application
Langmuir (L) and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) are used in several fields, where liquid thin films are studied (Langmuir films) and/or transferred to solid substrates in one or more well-organized layers (Langmuir-Blodgett).
With MicroBAM, in addition to reading different phase transitions and maximum packing density in an isotherm, one can also follow the process visually. 
Areas of application for LB
- The film quality, packing density and packing pattern can be checked before transfer to substrates.
This avoids the unnecessary time and effort of depositing substandard films. - When you want to optimize parameters for making and transferring your thin films, it is a great help to follow the process visually.
Parameters that are important for a good LB film deposition are the compression rate of the barriers, waiting time, temperature and sub-phase composition.
Areas of application for Langmuir
- Study a monolayer / thin film.
You can see phase changes, phase separation, domain formation, size, shape and packing patterns. - Follow surface reactions in real time, such as photochemical reactions, enzyme kinetics and polymerization.
- Study surfactant materials and processes such as protein adsorption or nanoparticle flotation.
