I seem to recall a monolayer experiment description where
the boundary of the layer was determined by a paddle
connected to a force guage, so that squeezing the layer
  showed steps in the force/distance graph.

The stark simplicity of the monolayer experiments
recommends them: a liquid with hydrophilic and hydrophobic
molecular terminal features and the tiny spores of an ancient
fern like plant are not sine quae non.
