Abstract
We present microscopic observations of the diffusion in water of micro meter-sized spheres confined between two walls. Deviations from the St okes-Einstein law are observed, which for different bead diameters and different separations between the walls depend on a single dimensionl ess parameter. We compare numerical predictions with the experimental values.
