Abstract: Two types of experiments are described by which the dynamics of phase transitions in two-dimensional fluid systems can be studied. Phase transitions in monolayers of amphiphiles adsorbed on water can be followed by fluorescence microscopy. Light scattering and direct microscopic observation of breath figures, which are patterns formed when fluids are condensed on solid surfaces, provide information about the growth and coalescence of droplets.
