Harold E. Edgerton and James R. Killian: Flash! Seeing the unseen by ultra high-speed photography. Boston 1939, p. 123 (there caption: Here is a diadem, decorated with pearls raised above the rim, produced by a drop of milk falling upon a plate covered with a thin layer of milk. In the land of splashes, what the scientist knows as Surface Tension is a sculptor in liquids, and fashions from them delicate shapes none the less beautiful because they are too ephemeral for any eye but that of the high-speed camera.) / Exh. cat.: Seeing the unseen. Dr. Harold E. Edgerton and the wonders of Strobe Alley. Rochester, George Eastman House; Winston-Salem, Sci Works; Seattle, Pacific Science Center, 1994/96, p. 30 (there titled: Coronet of milk) / Ron Kurtz, Deborah G.
