Biological membrane assemblies with two membranes per unit cell and with well defined fluid layers are treated. In membrane diffraction the minus fluid model is used. A method for the determination of the zero-order amplitude using knowledge of the membrane-pair width is described. Sampling-theorem expressions for the Fourier transform of the individual membranes are derived. These expressions simplify the structural analysis and the interpretation of modified and disordered membrane systems.
