Figure 6. Statistical analysis of the intracellular diffusion of particles.

Figure 6

Distribution of the x (sparse pattern) and y (dense pattern) displacements normalized to the square root of the lag time between frames measured on a time series of images of cSLN particles in epithelial cells. Only subsequent detection of the particles have been selected in the analysis. The solid lines are Gaussian functions, Inline graphic, globally fit to both the data sets. The common (globally fitted to the x- and y- displacements) best fit diffusion coefficient of the cSLNs is D = 0.022±0.01 µm2/s. We have employed the non linear least square (Levenberg-Marquardt) fitting routine of Origin 7.0 (OriginLab Corp.) with statistical (Poisson) weight on the data.
