Distilled water was used throughout the experiments. The standard dish that held the water had a diameter of 5.3cm. Other dishes used had diameters of 2.5cm and 6.8cm. A video camera was used to film the experiments. The droplets were hand-dropped or touched to the water surface in volumes ranging from 5-25uL. The videos were recorded at 30 frames per second with a resolution of 720 x 480 pixels. Frame-by-frame analysis of the droplets was done using Scion Image.
