对在衬底上凝结的液滴的尺寸分布（呼吸图）的分析是标度理论的一个试验场。在这里，我们表明，这些分布的忠实描述必须明确处理液滴的生长机制。这一发现建立了连接表面上最小液滴的成核和生长与液滴尺寸分布演变的总体特征的门户。
The analysis of the size distribution of droplets condensing on a substrate (breath figures) is a test ground for scaling theories. Here, we show that a faithful description of these distributions must explicitly deal with the growth mechanisms of the droplets. This finding establishes a gateway connecting nucleation and growth of the smallest droplets on surfaces to gross features of the evolution of the droplet size distribution.
