Snapshots of HIR of conventional-type droplets. The droplets are formed in the Iso-Ch coexistence region of a non-dispersed mixture of E8 and 5CB + 1.0 wt% chiral dopant. Scale bars, 10 μm. The time intervals between the snapshots for a and b are 4 and 1.2 s, respectively. The temperature is stationary at 55 °C. The heat flux is in the viewing direction, shown by the red cross symbol (j = 6.0 mW mm−2)
