Fig. 6: Results of NTA experiments with the fiber-interfaced HCW for two ensembles of gold NPs.

The top row refers to NPs (ensemble 1) with an average diameter of 50 nm NPs, the bottom to NPs (ensemble 2) with an average diameter of 100 nm. The left column shows the distribution of the determined hydrodynamic diameter as a function of the track length for (a) 50 nm NPs and (c) 100 nm NPs. The right column shows the corresponding weighted (by track length) histograms (green bars) used to extract the main parameters including inverse Gaussian fits (purple lines) for the (b) 50 nm NPs and (d) 100 nm NPs. Note that the absolute occurrence (y-axis) represents the probability multiplied by the trajectory length, which statistically results in longer trajectories being more relevant
