Milk and Butter with Magnifying Glasses

The image visually explains the structural difference between milk and butter. It features a carton of milk and a tub of butter, each accompanied by a magnifying glass. The magnifying glass over the milk reveals numerous yellow spheres within a blue medium, symbolizing fat globules dispersed in water. Conversely, the magnifying glass over the butter shows blue spheres within a yellow medium, representing water droplets dispersed in fat. This clearly illustrates how milk is an oil-in-water emulsion and butter is a water-in-oil emulsion.
