  text: The analysis of the size distribution of droplets condensing on a substrate
    (breath figures) is a test ground for scaling theories. Here, we show that a faithful
    description of these distributions must explicitly deal with the growth mechanisms
    of the droplets. This finding establishes a gateway connecting nucleation and
    growth of the smallest droplets on surfaces to gross features of the evolution
    of the droplet size distribution
