65. As in classical nucleation theory, the fluid is assumed to be incompressible; it could be argued that in order to make a consistent comparison, it is more natural to take the density of the fluid to be constant and equal to the coexisting density. However, as the fluid is indeed rather incompressible, the difference is negligible.
