Abstract

The combined application of autoradiography and electron microscopy allowed the assignment of molecular components to individual micellar fibres in a mixed gel. Resolution was of the order of 0·1 µm. As a result, it was shown that bimolecular sheets of N-dodecyl-L-mannonamide (= L-Man-12) completely separated from helical rods consisting of tritiated N-octyl-D-gluconamide (= D-Glu-8). The method should be useful for the analysis of several other synthetic supramolecular systems.
