Dewetting of thin liquid films is monitored in situ by atomic force microscopy, results are compared with simulations. The experimental setting is mimicked as close as possible using the experimental parameters including the effective interface potential. Numerics for the thin film equation are based on recently developed schemes which are up to now the only methods convergent in all relevant space dimensions. Temporal evolution and morphology of experiment and simulation are compared quantitatively. Our results explain the origin of complex generic patterns that evolve upon dewetting.
