Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>We successfully determined the three-dimensional structure of agar gel droplets on multipillared surfaces. The contact angle, length of penetration of the agar gel into the interspace between pillars, and curvature of the bottom surface of the droplets were changed with respect to changes in the volume and concentration of the aqueous agar solution and the distance between the surface-bound pillars.</jats:p>
