Abstract: Afluorescent ordered ring assembly was observed under a fluorescence microscope, and the assembly image was captured by using a digital CCDcamera for analytical purposes. When a droplet of diluted solution of cadmium-calcein complex in 0.01 mol/Lhexahydropyridine was spotted onto the surface of dimethyl dichlorosilane modified glass slide, a symmetrical ordered ring was formed with an outer diameter of 1.10 mm and a ring line width of 0.048 mm. It was found that the fluorescent molecules on the ring line followed a Gaussian distribution, and with which a quantitative equation was established. For a 0.1 μLdroplet of the calcium calcein complex, the maximal fluorescence intensity of the ring is proportional to the content of calcium over the range of 3.0×10-15~1.0×10-13mol, and the limit of detection is 2.56×10-16mol. The proposed method has been successfully applied to the quantification of Cd2+ in water samples of Jialingjiang River.
