Abstract

We examine the capability of mean square displacement (MSD) analysis to extract reliable values of the diffusion coefficient D of a single particle undergoing Brownian motion in an isotropic medium in the presence of localization uncertainty. The theoretical results, supported by simulations, show that a simple unweighted least-squares fit of the MSD curve can provide the best estimate of D provided an optimal number of MSD points are used for the fit. We discuss the practical implications of these results for data analysis in single-particle tracking experiments.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
