In this image, lighted from the front, water containing zirconium dioxide particles measuring 850 microns in diameter detaches from a nozzle. The suspension neck maintains a symmetric profile until the neck gradually narrows to a width of only one particle, when the liquid surrounding the particles ruptures.
