Popis:	It is shown that under certain experimental conditions stable wetting and free films of bovine submaxillary mucin (BSM) may be obtained. These films are relatively thick (> 100 nm) and heterogeneous. The film heterogeneity directly influences its stability. Films of albumin formed under identical conditions do not display such a heterogeneity. The study of such thin films provides information on the tear film rupture process.
