The exponential scaling of isotopic yields is investigated for sources of different sizes over a broad range of excitation energies and freeze-out volumes, in both primary and asymptotic stages of the decay in the framework of a microcanonical multifragmentation model. It was found that the scaling parameters have a strong dependence on the considered pair of equilibrated sources and excitation energy and are affected by the secondary particle emission of the break-up fragments. No significant influence of the freeze-out volume on the considered isotopic ratios has been observed. Deviations of microcanonical results from grandcanonical expectations are discussed.
