Experimental devices and techniques for determining surface and interface tensions microdroplets of low-melting metals bordering with vacuum, liquid mediums and solid substrates have been described. Dynamic method is discussed for the gallium microliter sessile droplet immersed in water and a static method is considered for the tin microdroplet pending on a conical tip of a cantilever needle.
