    Abstract

    The first-passage-probability can be used as an unbiased method for determining the phases of motion of individual organelles within live cells. Using high speed microscopy, we observe individual lipid droplet tracks and analyze the motor protein driven motion. At short passage lengths (2, at short times due to a passive subdiffusive process. This changes to another power law at long times where 1
