Microrheology at the Liquid-Crystal Water Boundary

We demonstrate the viscosity measurement using laser-trapped liquid crystal droplet. The viscosity determined experimentally depended on the diameter of the droplet and boundary conditions at the liquid crystal surface which was changed by adding surfactant.
