Dynamical images contain useful information of how the objects behave in time and space. When the system is in biological fluids, the motion of the object is much over-damped; the relaxation time is the characteristics in a diffusive time scale. We have found dynamical states of melting and forming of small nematic domains (10—30 μm) that are exhibited in the suspensions of fd-viruses under applied AC electric field amplitude at low frequency. Dynamic image correlation function is used for extracting the mes- oscopic relaxation times of the dynamical states, which can be employed as an application to other dynamic imaging process of biologically relevant soft condensed matter and biomedical systems.
