We present a quantitative study of the two-dimensional dendritic growth of liquid-condensed domains observed by fluoresence microscopy in Langmuir monolayers of D-myristoyl alanine. The geometrical analysis of the dendrite tip region shows that the predicted relationship ρ²V/d₀D=const (V is the tip growth velocity, {ρ} the top curvature radius, d₀ the capillary length, and D the diffusion coefficient) is reasonably verified. The determination of this constant yields an estimate of the line tension anisotropy.
