The article presents a comparative review of experimental methods used for characterization of orientational ordering of the molecules in a partially aligned media. The optical, X-ray and magnetic resonance techniques are considered. The potential and limitations of different approaches are discussed. The magnetic resonance is concluded to be the most informative technique for detailed characterization of the molecular orientation distribution.
