(a) AFM image of DOPC bilayers before being exposed to X-rays. (b) AFM image of DOPC bilayers damaged by the X-ray beam during the acquisition of the first reflectivity curve which has induced the deposition of material on top of the membranes. (c) Reflectivity curves. Blue and red: experimental data and best fit, respectively, for the data acquired after the AFM image shown in (a). Red and green (shifted for better clarity): experimental data and best fit, respectively, for the data acquired after the AFM image shown in (b). Orange (shifted for better clarity): experimental data for the data acquired after exposition of 5 min full beam without attenuation at an incident angle of 0.1°: the membranes have been removed by the beam and solely the substrate is observed. Inset: scattering length density profile evaluated from the fit. Blue: data acquired after the AFM image shown in (a). Red: data acquired after the AFM image shown in (b). (d) AFM image acquired after exposure to full beam without attenuation. The membranes are not observed by AFM in agreement with the data shown in orange in (c).
