Parameters of the analytical method then have to be adjusted so that
the tracer particles become detectable.
The head of the Structure Formation group continued: «The more similar
our tracer particles are to the real nanoparticles, the more reliably the real nanoparticles can be detected later.»
The researchers added tiny «
tracer particles» to the water, which enabled them to see and capture images of the movement and flow near the surface of the coral.
«We worked with so - called
tracer particles for our analyses,» Tobias Kraus from INM explained.
They will provide the synthesis of
tracer particles, consultation regarding analysis of the industrial partners, and particle analysis as a service at INM.
Large
tracer particles, for instance, will concentrate along these specific trajectories.
