Figure 7. Lamellar period at excess hydration.

Neutron diffraction of pure DGDG measured in excess D₂O between two silicon wafers. (a) 2D diffraction pattern. (b) 1D reduced curve. The insert is a plot of the Bragg reflection (h=1 to 3) positions versus h. The solid line is a linear fit to the experimental points yielding a period of 54.0±0.1 Å.
