Figure 3

(a) Spatial arrangement of droplets in the first three coordination circles determined directly from the image of Fig. 2. Each group of seven dots was obtained for the same directions between droplets. (b) Spatial arrangement of droplets corrected to account for image distortion in Fig. 2. Dashed lines show symmetrical hexagons whose vertex coordinates correspond to minimal summary distances from the droplet positions. The average distance \(\left\langle R \right\rangle\) between droplets in the first coordination circle is 32 ± 2 μm.
