19. The field ψ(r)= 1 or 0 if r falls inside or outside a domain, respectively, For a discussion of the link between this spatial pattern and the viscoelasticity of the dispersed phase, as well as details of the procedure used to extract the field ψ(r) from the micrographs, see E. K. Hobbie et al., J. Chem. Phys. 117, 6350 (2002).
20. See, for example, M. Kerker, The Scattering of Light and other Electromagnetic Radiation (Academic, London, 1969). For soft domains, we assume that ζ scales linearly with φ in the semidilute regime, where the constant of proportionality is obtained by assuming that the optimum threshold level at the highest turbidity gives an accurate measure of true area fraction in the micrographs, which is then used to estimate the volume fraction. The micrographs are thus thresholded in a manner that is consistent with the measured turbidity.
