Vliv velikosti částic na mikroreologické experimenty pomocí fluorescenční korelační spektroskopie / Influence of particle size on microreology experiments using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy

This diploma thesis deals with microrheology measured via the fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. As microrheological probes, fluorescently marked nanoparticles of 5 sizes in the range of 10-100 nm, were used. The particles had been immersed in a variety of concentrated glycerol solutions and agarose gels of different concentrations, and the FCS measurement revealed a diffusion coefficient of individual particles in each environment. Based on the coefficient, the viscosity of the glycerol needed to stop the particles could be determined. Particles of 10 nm size were not stopped even by the 100 wt% glycerol. In the case of the agarose gels, a combination of higher agarose concentration and larger particles resulted in an increase in the diffusion coefficient to an unlikely high value. This was caused probably by an agarose autofluorescence and the value indicates stopping of the particles in the given agarose gel. Later, the data acquired by the FCS measurement were converted to MSD curves using MATLAB software. The thesis discusses the influence of the experimental parameters on the shape of the MSD curve. The results showed that the number of particles and autocorrelation function have the most significant effect.
