Colloidal suspension of monodispersed charged polystyrene microspheres provides an excellent experimental system for a study of condensed matter physics. Here we report a series of experiments using video microscopy to study the structure and dynamics of colloidal matter. In the first set of experiments, we give a clear demonstration of how thermal fluctuations destroy positional order in one dimension. The second set of experiments is related to the micromechanics of a colloidal solid.
