Embodiment 1

[0047] The preparation of embodiment 1 single-component aqueous phase droplet

[0048] (1) The continuous phase is selected as silicone oil, and the discrete phase is deionized water. Add 5% mass fraction of surfactant (Dow Corning 749) to the silicone oil, and put it in a continuous phase container. Add a small amount of rhodamine b to deionized water and fill into a syringe.
