We present systematic measurements of the surface rheology of monolayers of liquid-condensed (LC) dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) at the air-water interface. Using microfabricated, ferromagnetic 'microbuttons' as new microrheological probes, we measure the linear viscoelastic moduli of LC DPPC monolayers as both surface pressure and frequency are varied. Visualization of this interface reveals that the interlocked liquid crystalline domains that comprise an LC-DPPC monolayer give rise to a viscoelastic solid response. Two distinct behaviors arise as surface pressure is increased: for low surface pressures (8 mN m(-1)
