In-situ observation of colloidal crystallization

We report contents of colloidal crystallization experiments in ISSCG-16. The participants produce two kinds of colloidal crystals, i.e., close-packed opal type crystals, and non-close-packed charged colloidal crystals. They can observe the crystallization processes by using optical microscopy and reflection spectroscopy. Graphical abstract
