Droplet pair

Download clip (700 kB)
This splash came from a drop that was released from 1/4 of the height as in the previous clip.  The tip of the column broke into two droplets, seen at their point of separation in the photo above.  The droplet on top was launched upward much higher than in the previous clip, while the one below it did not travel far at all.  Much oscillation could be seen in the shape of the second droplet after it was formed.
