Sizes• Mean Squared Distance MSD (2D, N frames track, n frames lag*):
• Diffusion coefficient D (least-squares fit of MSD as a function of n):
• Hence hydrodynamic diameter:
* ergodicity: assembly average ≡ time average
Statistics• Cramér-Rao statistics decides length of each track used for
optimal MSD fitting• X. Michalet and A.J. Berglund Optimal diffusion coefficient

• Binning diameters with different schemes (like equal or logarithmic widths) into density of particle-size distribution (PSD) with variable investigated volume (explained later)
• Statistical parameters of PSD (average size, standard deviation)

narrow equal bins wide equal bins logarithmic bins variable bins
Counts• 25 (or more) short videos (300 frames each) recorded*
• Track and count particles detected on 1st frame of each video
• Mixing sample between videos to get different aliquots (magnetic stirrer)
• external fluidics for magnetic materials and low concentration samples – do not use sample flow during recording
• Proper PSD binning (bin widths) for polydispersity
* typically between 100 and 150 particles tracked per video
Volume
How to calibrate volume:• Measure concentrations for standards
of different sizes and made out of different materials (various RIs)
• Determine effective volumes• Create look-up surface of volumes• Extrapolate by using intensity of
individual tracks and applying Mie scattering cross-section formula

Concentration• Integrate density of PSD (counts/mL/nm) across sizes of interest,
for example from 50 to 700 nm, to get concentration (counts/mL)
• Instruments are calibrated for optics scaling (nm/pix) and for laser(s) power (mW) (manufacturing variability of active elements)
• For unknown materials, extrapolate investigated volumes by using Mie scattering cross-sections of known test materials
• Use measured data with statistically significant number of counts, do not use fitted distributions (PSD is not an invariant)
