We describe spatial arrangement of polystyrene latex using a microscopic imaging system. A reduced photomask pattern is imaged on the particles in a water-filled cell so that polystyrene spheres align in a two-dimensional pattern. Calculating the forces exerted on the spheres by isolated line pattern, we investigated an optimum size for sphere diameter and the line width of the patterns. We are able to align spheres in real-time by this technique.
