研究目的
To demonstrate that antiresonant hollow-core fibers (ARHCFs) open new perspectives for the detection and tracking of unlabeled, individual nanoparticles in statistically large numbers simultaneously.
研究成果
The novel method using ARHCFs holds strong potential for the investigation of yet unexplored multi-particle dynamics at the nanoscale, enabling particle tracking for tens of seconds at kHz image rates.
研究不足
The approach imposes high spatial constraints on the particle motion and allows very little control over the liquid flow inside the fiber.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilizes antiresonant hollow-core fibers (ARHCFs) for detecting and tracking unlabeled nanoparticles. The method involves illuminating the nanoparticles inside the ARHCF with a laser source and capturing the scattered light with a high-speed camera.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Gold nanospheres of diameters as small as 40nm were introduced into the hollow inner channels of an ARHCF.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
ARHCF, optofluidic chip system, laser source (532nm), low NA microscope objective, high-speed camera.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The fiber was integrated into an optofluidic chip system to control the liquid flow, illuminated by a laser, and the scattered light was collected and imaged.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
An algorithm was applied to analyze the data and deduce individual particle trajectories, using the mean squared displacement method for particle size estimations.
