A mechanically driven graphite fiber microbalance is used to investigate the wetting behavior of argon on graphite. We found evidence of complete wetting above the bulk triple point T 3 and incomplete wetting below. Below T 3 the thickness d of the saturated adsorbed film is found to obey the power law d ∝ ( t ) x , with x = -1/3, in the reduced temperature range 10 -5 < t = ( T 3 - T )/ T 3 < 10 -2 . Above T 3 the film thickness diverges as d ∝ [ln ( P 0 / P )] x , with x = -1/3.
