jsc2024e065172 (10/3/2024) --- A temperature map is seen within a microgel suspension illuminated by the Colloidal Solids (COLIS) near infrared laser (NIR). Reference ground tests for the Colloidal Solids (COLIS) investigation show spatial variation of the sample temperature while illuminating an aqueous, dense suspension of thermosensitive microgels with a 0.5 s pulse of NIR laser light. The NIR beam propagates from left to right. The sample temperature with no NIR laser is uniform and set to 27°C. The temperature values are inferred from the change in scattered intensity at a scattering angle of 90°, as recorded by one of the complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) cameras of COLIS. Results from this investigation are expected to provide a deeper understanding of soft solid interactions with gravity and microgravity, paving the way for the design of new materials.
