Sequences of X-ray diffraction patterns were obtained from dehydrating, artificially oriented multilayers of isolated, bovine rod outer segment disks. A direct-phase analysis was applied to highly hydrated specimens to determine sequences of low resolution (approx. 30 Å) electron density profiles of the disks as dehydration proceeded. The profiles were found to evolve smoothly as the multilayer lattice simultaneously shrank and became increasingly ordered. The bilayer profiles were largely invariant under dehydration and the evolution of the diffraction consistent with simple decreases in fluid spacings. The specimens were observed to phase separate into characteristic primary and a secondary lattices when the multi-layer became too dehydrated. The small unit cell size of the secondary lattice was suggestive of a lipid phase. Large changes in the diffraction patterns from phase separated specimens were observed upon bleaching of the specimen. The changes were consistent with a reversible disordering of the primary lattice.
