Ω−2/3 is once again reasonably valid (as it was for a plane of acrylic). What changes, compared to the previous experimental results with a plane of acrylic, is the slope of the fit. This slope is indeed linked to the contact angles between water and the plane, which are different for a plane of glass and acrylic.
