Ia3d bicontinuous cubic phases are interpreted as constituted of a fluid film of constant thickness supported by the gyroid minimal surface. We first compute the gyroid structure factor. Then we decorate the surface by the film. We compute the diffracted intensities and compare to X-ray intensities measured in some lipid systems.
