Schematic of the droplet analysis using the cryo-FIB/SEM system.

(a) Substrate engineering by Cu deposition on the patterned/non-patterned polymer substrate. (b) Generation of the sessile droplet on the engineered Cu substrate. (c) Rapid slush freezing of the droplet and consequent Pt sputtering under a cryogenic temperature. (d) Electron and gallium ion beam integrated milling and imaging of the droplet under a cryogenic temperature. (e) Wettability analysis of the FIB-milled droplets.
