Secondary drop formation, water drop impact
High speed photograph of secondary drop formation after the impact of a falling drop with a pool of water. The original drop contained red dye. After cratering, the surface collapsed to form a column of water. At the top of the column, water surface tension effects create a secondary drop. This can be seen to contain a very high proportion of red dye, so little mixing has taken place. Eighth in a series of thirteen frames

EDITORS COMMENTS
This high-speed photograph captures the mesmerizing moment of secondary drop formation after a falling drop impacts a pool of water. The original drop, infused with vibrant red dye, creates a stunning visual spectacle as it collides with the water's surface and forms a crater. As the impact unfolds, the collapsed surface gives rise to an elegant column of water that reaches towards the sky. Atop this towering column, an enchanting secondary drop emerges due to the remarkable effects of water surface tension. This droplet appears almost untouched by its surroundings, showcasing an intense concentration of red dye that indicates minimal mixing has occurred. The image is part of a meticulously crafted series consisting of thirteen frames that delve into various aspects of this awe-inspiring phenomenon. Through advanced scientific techniques and cutting-edge technology in photography, Science Photo Library skillfully captures this fleeting moment in time. The high-speed flash freezes every intricate detail, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty and complexity inherent in nature's processes. This photographic masterpiece serves as a testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit of understanding scientific phenomena through artistic expression. It invites viewers from all walks of life to marvel at the wonders unfolding around us and sparks intrigue about what lies beneath the surface - both literally and metaphorically speaking.
