Beschreibung

Abstract: Differential dynamic microscopy (DDM) is an increasingly adopted technique that extracts local, multi-scale quantitative information about dynamic samples observed with optical microscopy. The very straightforward DDM approach, originally demonstrated with bright field microscopy of aqueous colloids, has lately been used to probe a variety of other complex fluids and biological systems - including liquid suspensions, soft materials, cells, and tissues - with many different imaging methods, including dark-field, differential interference contrast, wide-field, light-sheet, and confocal microscopy. The number of adopting groups is rapidly increasing and so are the applications. Here, we briefly recall the working principles of DDM, we highlight its advantages and limitations, we outline recent experimental breakthroughs, and we provide a perspective on future challenges and directions.
