28 When doing experiments with 5CB droplets, it was relatively<br />
easy to heat them above the clearing temperature nematic to<br />
isotropic transition, either by laser-induced heating of the<br />
single droplet or by heating the whole sample. In any case,<br />
radial droplets usually transformed into axial after being<br />
heated above the clearing point and then left relaxing back to<br />

the nematic phase. This showed that axial alignment is probably<br />
the most stable one.<br />
