Figure 4. Power Spectra.

Figure 4

A) Representative power spectrum for a trapped bead in a flow chamber with flow turned off. A spectrum is taken in X and Y coordinate systems. X is shown in red, Y in purple. Lorentzian fits are overlaid on the each spectrum. The black fit is for X, the blue fit is for Y. The bead corner frequency for X = 781 Hz, for Y = 472 Hz. B) Power spectrum data for the same bead after the flow was turned on at a rate of 1 µl/sec. Flow is in the X direction. X is shown in orange, Y in green. The black fit is for X, the purple fit is for Y. The bead corner frequency for X = 697 Hz, for Y = 226 Hz. Introduction of flow causes some low frequency noise in both spectra and shifts the corner frequency of the Y power spectra with respect to the no flow. X spectra are very similar for each condition.
