Diffusion and transport processes play an important role in many fields of natural and material sciences. An example is confined diffusion in nanoporous materials, as they are used in catalytic converters. Diffusion processes were generally studied with fluorescence-correlation spectroscopy (FCS) as well as single-particle tracking (SPT) methods using high sensitive CCD or CMOS cameras. We demonstrate a versatile SPT-technique, lately proposed by J. Enderlein [1], called single-particle orbit tracking (SPOT). With SPOT a single fluorescent particle is traced with the rotating focus of the excitation laser orbiting the particle. SPOT allows to follow a fluorescent polymer bead for several minutes with a temporal resolution of 4 ms and a position accuracy in the range of 10 nm [2]. With SPOT we are able to reconstruct the restricted trajectory of a fluorescent polymer bead within an inverse opal nanostructure, a 3-dimensional porous silica structure with cavities in the range of 100 nm. Due to the high spatial accuracy of the SPOT technique we can map the topology of the sample.
