The Hitchhiker's Guide to Differential Dynamic Microscopy

Enrico Lattuada, Fabian Krautgasser, Maxime Lavaud +2

Over nearly two decades, Differential Dynamic Microscopy (DDM) has become a standard technique for extracting dynamic correlation functions from time-lapse microscopy data, with ap…

Non-invasive measurement of nuclear relative stiffness from quantitative analysis of microscopy data

Stefano Villa, Andrea Palamidessi, Emanuela Frittoli +3

The connection between the properties of cell tissue and those of the single constituent cells remains to be elucidated. At the purely mechanical level, the degree of rigidity of d…

Deformation profiles and microscopic dynamics of complex fluids during oscillatory shear experiments

Paolo Edera, Matteo Brizioli, Giuliano Zanchetta +3

Oscillatory shear tests are widely used in rheology to characterize the linear and non-linear mechanical response of complex fluids, including the yielding transition. There is an…

Differential dynamic microscopy for the characterization of polymer systems

Roberto Cerbino, Fabio Giavazzi, Matthew E. Helgeson

This review summarizes recent progress in investigating polymer systems by using Differential dynamic microscopy (DDM), a rapidly emerging approach that transforms a commercial mic…

Probing roto-translational diffusion of small anisotropic colloidal particles with a bright-field microscope

Fabio Giavazzi, Antara Pal, Roberto Cerbino

Soft and biological materials are often composed of elementary constituents exhibiting an incessant roto-translational motion at the microscopic scale. Tracking this motion with a…

Optimal leap angle of legged and legless insects in a landscape of uniformly-distributed random obstacles

Fabio Giavazzi, Samuele Spini, Marina Carpineti +1

We investigate theoretically the ballistic motion of small legged insects and legless larvae after a jump. Notwithstanding their completely different morphologies and jumping strat…
