We have calculated the energy levels for an electron just outside the surface of a dielectric sphere. The electron is bound by dispersion forces which depend on the dimensions of the sphere (or droplet) and on the inner potential of the material of the sphere. Some comments as to relevance of these bound levels to experiments are made.
