AB  - A new monitoring technique, which combines real-time in-situ CCD camera 
      observation and reflectance spectra measurement, has been developed to study the 
      growing and drying processes of evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA). 
      Evolutions of the reflectance spectrum and CCD camera images both reveal that the 
      entire process of polystyrene (PS) EISA contains three stages: crack-initiation 
      stage (T1), crack-propagation stage (T2), and crack-remained stage (T3). A new 
      phenomenon, the red-shift of stop-band, is observed when the crack begins to 
      propagate in the monitored window of CCD camera. Deformation of colloidal 
      spheres, which mainly results in the increase of volume fraction of spheres, is 
      applied to explain the phenomenon. Moreover, the modified scalar wave 
      approximation (SWA) is utilized to analyze the reflectance spectra, and the 
      fitting results are in good agreement with the evolution of CCD camera images. 
      This new monitoring technique and the analysis method provide a good way to get 
      insight into the growing and drying processes of PS colloidal self-assembly, 
      especially the crack propagation.
