Abstract
A novel pH microprobe has been developed, which makes it possible to m
easure inhomogeneous pH distributions with submicrometer three-dimensi
onal resolution. A polyacrylamide particle incorporated with pH-sensit
ive fluorescein-acrylamide is manipulated with a laser trapping techni
que. It is demonstrated that the local pH in a water/glass interface i
s different from that of bulk water.
