High-viscosity fluid in the microfluidic chip. (a1) Schematic illustration of jetting mode when preparing high-viscosity microspheres using high-viscosity fluid as the inner phase; (a2) Jetting mode inside the microchannel captured in high-speed camera; (a3) Polydispersed high-viscosity microspheres prepared from a jetting mode; (b1) Schematic illustration of dripping mode when preparing high-viscosity microspheres using the phase-inversion method; (b2) Dripping mode inside the microchannel captured in a high-speed camera; (b3) monodispersed high-viscosity microspheres prepared from the phase-inversion method. All scale bars are 500 μm.
