The topography of a liquid surface has not been the subject of experimental research because of a lack of experimental methods. The hereby outlined investigation shows how the topography of a liquid surface can be classified through the angular mode of neutral impact collision ion scattering spectroscopy. It further shows how concentration depth profiles with a high depth resolution are gained. These can be used as the basis to determine quantitatively the orientation of molecules. The substances investigated are the polar solvents formamide and benzyl alcohol.
