Fig. 3.

SAXS data using either synchrotron (left) or bench-top SAXS (right). The intensity of the scattered electrons is plotted versus the scattering vector (q), for synchrotron also versus time. The spectra illustrate the evolution of lamellar (L _α) and hexagonal (H ₂) phases during in vitro lipolysis. The arrows on the right panel denote the Bragg spacing for the lamellar phases at day = 1.6, 2.4, and 4.8 nm and at day = 3.3 nm for the hexagonal phase. At time points 0 min, no liquid crystals are visible, after 30 min a lamellar phase exists, and 90 min hexagonal and lamellar phases co-exist. Reprinted with permission from references (82,89)
