who all were involved in discovering the structure of that bilayer of the cell?
Prof. Dr. Evert Gorter and F. Grendel
Lipid bilayer
Prof. Dr. Evert Gorter (1881–1954) and F. Grendel of Leiden University approached the problem from a different perspective, spreading the erythrocyte lipids as a monolayer on a Langmuir-Blodgett trough. When they compared the area of the monolayer to the surface area of the cells, they found a ratio of two to one. Later analyses showed several errors and incorrect assumptions with this experiment but, serendipitously, these errors canceled out and from this flawed data Gorter and Grendel drew the correct conclusion- that the cell membrane is a lipid bilayer.
what is another lipid in the cell membrane It is a thin polar membrane made of two layers of lipid molecules besides the cell membrane, is there any other part in the cell where this bilayer is present? UNANSWERABLE what are the functions of this bilayer? It is the barrier that keeps ions, proteins and other molecules where they are needed and prevents them from diffusing into areas where they should not be what instruments are used to observe this layer? Electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy what are the main parts the second instrument consists of? Cantilever, a piezoelectric element, the sharp tip, the detector, the sample, sample stage, and an xyz drive who developed this instrument? Gerd Binnig what is this person's profession? He is a physicist which organizations did he work for? IBM where is this company headquartered? Armonk, New York what products did this company develop in their research labs? Linux kernel,  platform-independent software framework Eclipse, International Components for Unicode (ICU) license are some of them what are the names of any current (or former) workers who work in this organization? Tim Cook, Ross Perot, John W. Thompson are few among them

Lipid bilayer [SEP] History
When they compared the area of the monolayer to the surface area of the cells, they found a ratio of two to one. Later analyses showed several errors and incorrect assumptions with this experiment but, serendipitously, these errors canceled out and from this flawed data Gorter and Grendel drew the correct conclusion- that the cell membrane is a lipid bilayer. This theory was confirmed through the use of electron microscopy in the late 1950s. Although he did not publish the first electron microscopy study of lipid bilayers J. David Robertson was the first to assert that the two dark electron-dense bands were the headgroups and associated proteins of two apposed lipid monolayers.
