This shows a series of confocal optical sections (Z-stack) through the fluorescently labelled superhydrophobic–water interface. The superhydrophobic film was labelled with the water-insoluble green fluorescent dye fluorescein, and submerged in water containing the water-soluble red fluorescent dye rhodamine B. Images were taken with a Zeiss LSM 510 using two simultaneous laser excitation sources (Ar (488 nm) and He-Ne (543)) and a 63X objective. Image scan size is 6.6 micro m X6.6 micro m X0.06 micro m.
