Summary

AN ORIGNAL WAY OF OBTAINING A VERY LARGE NUMBER OF MICROSIZED WATER DROPLETS INSEMINATED BY SILVER IODIDE IS DESCRIBED. THIS HAS BEEN ACHIEVED THROUGH THE COEALESCENCE OF THE DROPLETS OF TWO DIFFERENT W/O EMULSIONS WHOSE DISPERSED PHASES ARE DILUTE AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS OF POTASSIUM IODIDE AND SILVER NITRATE RESPECTIVELY. THE FREEZING OF THE INSEMINATED DROPLETS HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED BY DIFFERENTIAL SCANNING CALORIMETRY. THE FIRST EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS OBTAINED ARE REPORTED IN THIS PAPER.
