Abstract
We present art optical technique for measuring the contact angle made by a liquid deposited on a substrate. Tills technique is bused on the optical properties of a liquid edge. Its originality is that it enable s a simultaneous and direct measurement of the dynamic contact angle a nd the velocity of the liquid front. This method applies to transparen t liquids and substrates.
