Two micro rafts approaching with distance from 4 µm to 0 µm.
High-speed imaging of air-water interface deformation reveals how the edge profiles of 100-micron rafts dictate their rotation and self-assembly dynamics.
This interaction is visualized through phase images showing precise isolevel contours of the liquid surface.
