Atlas 1: Observations of Sessile Droplet Evaporation Using Dark Field Microscopy
What phenomena emerge when a droplet is allowed to evaporate and organise itself over time?
Atlas of Soft-Matter Structures: Observations of Sessile Droplet Evaporation Using Dark Field Microscopy presents a visual exploration of the patterns that emerge as droplets evaporate and organise over time. Through carefully documented image sequences, recurring structures become visible, including fibres, vesicular fields, crystalline assemblies, and phase-coupled networks. The atlas invites readers to observe how organisation can arise through confinement, concentration, interaction, and change.
A visual guide to the emergence of structure during evaporation, revealing how soft-matter systems transform, reorganise, and generate complexity as conditions evolve.
