Surface tension. 19th-century diagrams of equipment and experiments carried out to study capillary and molecular effects, such as surface tension. A pond skater (top right) is held up by surface tension. Convex and concave menisci are shown at upper left, with capillary action at lower centre. This page is from volume 2 of the 4th edition (1844) of 'Elements de physique experimentale et de meteorologie' by French physicist Claude Servais Mathias Pouillet (1790-1868).
