Summary

Automatically generated

Differential dynamic microscopy (DDM) combines features of dynamic light scattering and microscopy. Here, the process of using DDM to characterize reconstituted cytoskeleton networks by quantifying the subdiffusive and caged dynamics of particles in vimentin networks and the ballistic motion of active myosin-driven actin-microtubule composites is presented.
