The miscibility of a diluted polymer blend under steady shear has been investigated in the two-phase region using fluorescence and phase-contrast microscopy. Critical exponents describing the shape of the coexistence curve and the shift of the critical temperature ΔTc( ̇ \.γ) were compatible with expectations based on renormalization group and mode-coupling theories, but the introduction of a reduced variable description of ΔTc suggested a tendency for Tc to saturate at high shear rates.
