Various Magnet Set Ups

I've put together a couple of simulations to test which one would be the most useful set up to have mounted on the microscope stage so that I can observe the ferritin while it is under the influence of the magnet. After running these simulations, I was able to calculate the average force a single ferritin would feel in four different cases:

  • Moving Directly outward from the point I'm interested in for the area:
    • Nearest the tip
    • Within the flow cell
    • In a Tube
  • Just under the surface of the cover slip laterally in the flow cell

Here are the forces that I calculated for the various models:

The Models

In addition to the standard yoke, which comes in 0.1" and 0.4" gaps here, I created four other models that best represent the different ideas that I came up with, or represent a simple idea.

Cylinder

I know that magnetic force on a dipole is dependent on the gradient of the field, but it has not registered completely with me yet. So I created a simple model of a single two inch long, 0.5 inch diameter, N40 neodymium magnet. This represents the simplest magnets that I have. From here, I simulated the field from the surface at the center of the flat surface moving outward (in the same direction as the magnetization). Then I for the lateral force in a flow cell.
