Abstract
A common source of error in particle tracking experiments is identified, and a theoretical model for the magnitude of the error is offered. In many cases, the error is small, but in systems where only a few particles are being tracked, the measured mean squared displacement can be up to 50% smaller than the actual value. The theoretical model predictions are confirmed using numerical simulations and experimental observations of polystyrene microspheres in water.
