Double emulsion in a compound droplet

A compound drop is made of a millimetric water drop encapsulated in an oil shell. They are obtained by merging one drop of each component (water and oil). Afterwards, they are laid on a high viscosity oil bath which is vertically vibrated. When the forcing acceleration is higher than a given threshold Γth, compound drops can bounce on the surface. We show that above a second threshold Γe > Γth some oil contained in the shell enters in the inner water droplet forming a stable double emulsion.
