We present a novel microfluidic approach for the generation of monodisperse oil droplets in water with interfacial tensions of the order of 1 mu N m(-1). Using an oil-in- water emulsion containing the surfactant aerosol OT, heptane, water and sodium chloride under conditions close to the microemulsion phase transition, we actively controlled the surface tension at the liquid-liquid interface within the microfluidic device in order to produce monodisperse droplets. These droplets exhibited high levels of stability with respect to rupture and coalescence rates. Confirmation that the resultant emulsions were in the ultralow tension regime was determined using real space detection of thermally-induced capillary waves at the droplet interface.
