Summary

A sensitive fluorescence video microscopy method combining Nile Red staining with single particle tracking was developed to count and size nanoplastic particles in water. The technique enables quantification of plastic nanoparticles without expensive specialized equipment, making nanoplastic monitoring more accessible.

Easy method to count and size plastic nanoparticles in water. A combination of sensitive fluorescence video microscopy, NileRed staining of plastic particles, and single particle tracking allows for counting and sizing nanoplastics.
