    Area of Science:

    • Colloidal science
    • Optical microscopy
    • Nanotechnology

    Background:

    • Accurate characterization of colloidal particles is crucial for various scientific and industrial applications.
    • Traditional methods often require complex setups or lack precision for in situ analysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and validate the Fourier-Bessel Image Decomposition (FBID) method for analyzing colloidal microspheres.
    • To demonstrate FBID's capability in determining size, refractive index, and 3D position of individual particles.

    Main Methods:

    • Application of Fourier-Bessel Image Decomposition (FBID) to microscopy images of colloidal particles.
    • Utilizing measurements from polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate) microspheres.
    • Employing Brownian motion statistics on Fourier-Bessel coefficients for 3D tracking.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved 1% resolution in particle size and 0.2% in refractive index from single images.
    • Successfully resolved the binding of avidin molecules to biotinylated polystyrene particles.
    • Demonstrated straightforward 3D out-of-focus tracking of particle positions.

    Conclusions:

    • FBID provides a high-resolution, in situ method for characterizing polydisperse colloids.
    • The technique is sensitive enough to detect molecular binding events.
    • FBID offers a robust approach for 3D particle tracking using optical microscopy data.
