New Microscope Allows the Creation of Wetting Maps for Hydrophobic Surface Characterization

Wetting is considered to be an everyday phenomenon that depoicts how well liquid spreads on a surface. When water comes into contact with an extremely ‘superhydrophobic’ or water-repellent surface, droplets bead up and then roll off effortlessly.
