The storage and loss moduli obtained from the rotational mean squared displacement is in excellent agreement with those obtained from translational diffusion and by mechanical measurements. We also show that this method is applicable to samples with strong light scattering components. This extends the capabilities of the microrheological methods based on the diffusional motion of colloidal probes.
