Abstract By increasing the hydrophilicity of microsphere, the evaporation of liquid around the microsphere will be evidently eliminated, so that the droplet can remain stable, and it is more feasible to introduce the liquid immersed MMM system in practical utilizations that require long-time observation. Compared with the non-immersed one, the liquid immersed MMM system performs better in various aspects, and it is convenient to choose microspheres on a wider scale.
