Abstract
Jet and film drops from bubbles bursting in the presence of an electric field will be charged by electrostatic induction. If the field is sufficiently high, the drops move rapidly upward under the influence of an electrical force to impact on any suitable collecting surface. Magnesium oxide‐coated glass slides make an excellent collector for determination of the size distribution of either jet or film drops. An agar plate collector can be used to collect all of the jet drops for bacterial analysis. Combining the two types of electrostatic collectors provides evidence that suggests that the enrichment of bacteria in jet drops is highest on the top or uppermost drop and decreases progressively to a minimum value for the last few jet drops to be ejected from the bubble.
