We study microscopic single domains nucleating and growing within the coexistence region of the Isotropic (I) and Nematic (N) phases in magnetic field. By rapidly switching on the magnetic field the time needed to align the nuclei of sufficiently large size is measured, and is found to decrease with the square of the magnetic field. When the field is removed the disordering time is observed to last on a longer time scale. The growth rate of the nematic domains at constant temperature within the coexistence region is found to increase when a magnetic field is applied.
