Measuring storage and loss moduli using optical tweezers: broadband microrheology.
We present an experimental procedure to perform broadband microrheological measurements with optical tweezers. A generalized Langevin equation is adopted to relate the time-dependent trajectory of a particle in an imposed flow to the frequency-dependent moduli of the complex fluid. This procedure allows us to measure the material linear viscoelastic properties across the widest frequency range ...
متن کاملLinear microrheology with optical tweezers of living cells 'is not an option'!
Optical tweezers have been successfully adopted as exceptionally sensitive transducers for microrheology studies of complex fluids. Despite the general trend, in this article I explain why a similar approach should not be adopted for microrheology studies of living cells. This conclusion is acheived on the basis of statistical mechanics principles that indicate the unsuitability of optical twee...
متن کاملMicrorheology with Optical Tweezers: Measuring the relative viscosity of solutions ‘at a glance'
We present a straightforward method for measuring the relative viscosity of fluids via a simple graphical analysis of the normalised position autocorrelation function of an optically trapped bead, without the need of embarking on laborious calculations. The advantages of the proposed microrheology method are evident when it is adopted for measurements of materials whose availability is limited,...
متن کاملDo Leading Indicators Lead Peaks More Than Troughs?∗
We develop a formal statistical approach to investigate the possibility that leading indicator variables have different lead times at business cycle peaks and troughs. For this purpose, we propose a novel Markov switching vector autoregressive model, where economic growth and leading indicators share a common Markov process determining the state, but such that their cycles are non-synchronous w...
متن کاملProbing Telopeptide-Induced Collagen-Collagen Interactions Using Optical-Tweezers-Based Microrheology
The local viscoelasticity was compared between full-length and telopeptide-removed collagen solutions using optical-tweezers-based microrheology. An enhanced modulus at higher concentrations in full-length collagen solutions suggests contributions from telopeptide-associated transient crosslinks. OCIS codes: (160.1435) Biomaterials; (160.5470) Polymers; (350.4855) Optical tweezers or optical ma...
