The authors have performed a series of spinodal decomposition measurements of a three-component microemulsion system made of a surfactant AOT, water, and decane. The measurements were made by a temperature jump from a one-phase droplet microemulsion to a two-phase droplet microemulsion along the critical iso-volume fraction line (10%) using the time resolved light scattering intensity technique. All three stages of the evolution were studied. The typical scattering intensity distribution is in good agreement with recent dynamic scaling theories.
