SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on methods for placing a highly viscous liquid droplet, specifically one 2.5 million times more viscous than water, on a solid surface with a volume of less than 10µL and a radius of less than 1.34mm. Participants suggest using a pipette for precise application, similar to caulking techniques. Alternative methods include screen printing processes with a squeegee or utilizing solder paste dispensers, which are commonly used in surface-mount device (SMD) circuits for dispensing small droplets.
