a The major axis component of the MSD extracted from the plasmid confined in different cavities. b The minor axis component of the MSD extracted from the plasmid confined in different cavities. c The scaling exponent of \({\langle {({{\Delta }}r)}^{2}\rangle }_{| | }\) extracted from experiments (red points) and simulations (black points). d The scaling exponent of \({\langle {({{\Delta }}r)}^{2}\rangle }_{\perp }\) extracted from experiments (red points) and simulations (black points). The red error bars give the standard error of the mean of α over captured videos (n = 5 for e = 0, n = 7 for e = 0.6, n = 8 for e = 0.8, n = 9 for e = 0.9, n = 15 for e = 0.95). The black error bars give the standard error of the mean of α over simulation clips (n = 250 clips with 3000 steps).
