The computational procedure used in the experiment was the least square estimation of the parameters of the differential equation describing the shape of a sessile drop of liquid. After a series of tests which confirmed the correctness of the employed computational procedure, the method was used in the surface tension measurements of liquid copper.}, type={Article}, title={The Surface Tension Determination Through the Estimation of the Parameters of the Sessile Drop Equation}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/131682/PDF-MASTER/10_METALLURGY_48_2_2003_Siwiec_SURFACE.pdf}, }
