Properties of a Drop
- Lens Effect
Properties of a Drop
- Lens Effect
- Side Wall/Refraction Ring
Less than 90º
Contact Angle of a Drop
Contact Angle of a Drop
Hemispherical
Contact Angle of a Drop
Greater than 90º
High Contrast = More Detail
Crystals at the Drop Edge - use medium contrast
Very dark side-wall effect - use low contrast
