We study the structural heterogeneity of porous diblock copolymer membranes employing single particle tracking. The membranes were prepared by non solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) methods. Information on the thickness and pore sizes of the membranes is known from scanning electron microscopy. Fluorescent polystyrene beads were used as fluorescent particles and the spatial position of which was monitored with sub-diffraction limited accuracy. The diffusion behavior of these particles provides information of the structural properties of the membranes.
