The paper describes application of diamond nano crystals to research on dynamic processes in small (less than 1 mm across) evaporating droplets deposited on a solid substrate. Such droplets are used as a model system for testing proposed bio applications of nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond. We demonstrate that a high spatial resolution of our methods reveals unexpected features of the evaporation and fluid mechanics in such droplets.
