Lipids membranes, the primary component of the living cell, involve collective behaviour of numerous interacting molecules. The rich morphology and complex phase diagram of the lipid systems require different strategies in describing bio-membranes in order to capture the essential properties of self-assembly processes as well as the underling molecular collective phenomena involved in biological functions. Among the experimental methods used, the scattering techniques such as small angle neutrons and X-rays scattering (SANS and SAXS) are probably the most important experimental approaches for the structural investigation of bio-membranes and mixed lipids complex systems. In this tutorial review we describe the main approaches employed in the investigation of lipid bio-membranes by means of the neutron and x-ray scattering techniques. While introducing the main structural properties of lipid bio-membranes we highlight the important role of lipid components in different biological functions of living organisms.
