- P=111.2; T=23.3C
- System is 1.1-bar above phase boundary
- Note large density fluctuations

- P=110.2-111.1; T=23.3C
- Drop in pressure by 0.1-bar. Now 1.0-bar above phase boundary
- Note "reddish" tinge, indicates near critical point.
- Density fluctuations bigger.

- P=110.1; T=23.3C
- Now very close to phase boundary, 0.1-bar above
- Note large density fluctuations and "redder"
- Very close to critical point.
