The general optical technique of diffusing wave spectroscopy echo experiments is presented. By applying an oscillatory sinusoidal strain to a concentrated emulsion and examining echoes in the DWS intensity correlation function, the proportion of droplets that go through reversible and irreversible trajectories is deduced.
