(A) Schematic view of the micropipette experiment used to measure the interfacial tension of the droplets. R_P and R_D are respectively the pipette and the droplet radius. (B) Bright field microscopy image of the droplets aspirated by the micropipette. Scale bar: 5 μm. (C) Plot showing the interfacial tension (IFT) of soybean oil droplets, dots are independent droplets (N = 17). Mean interfacial tension is 8.3 ± 1.26 mN.m⁻¹.
