X-ray micro-CT imaging to study foliar water uptake mechanisms in plants with contrasting leaf topography. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Formation of an aqueous continuum from the leaf surface to the sub‐stomatal cavity is a key process, affecting the foliar entry of solutes, particles, and pathogens. However, the factors controlling the transition from a water droplet to the formation of a continuous water film remain poorly understood.

In situ force-balance tensiometry [PDF]
Experiments in Fluids, 1999 Although a fundamental physical parameter, surface tension is difficult to measure. Common tensiometry inaccur- acy comes from failure to control air—liquid—solid contact conditions, or account for liquid meniscus geometry and buoyancy corrections. This paper describes an in situ ten- siometry technique, based on withdrawal of a thin-walled tube from ...
