Fig. 5. — (A) A sketch showing the pellicle configuration near the edge of the Petri dish wall. (B) Perspective view of a NCIB 3610 pellicle showing the cascade-like behavior. The climbing of the pellicle on the dish wall, which follows the meniscus, can also be appreciated. (C) Cascade-like wrinkled morphology is observed in DV1 pellicles (grayscale image). (D) Backside view of a NCIB 3610 pellicle climbed onto the edge. The pellicle bottom in contact with the liquid substrate presents a wavy morphology. (E) Wavelength as a function of the distance from the edge x (SI Text, Image Analysis and Wavelength Measurement). Data obtained on different DV1 pellicles are differently colored and can be fitted by a simple exponential (black line) or by a power law (Inset). (Inset) Same data but plotted in log-log scale with the power law fit .
