One aspect of the present invention is a force measurement method including a first acquisition step in which, among data included in time course data indicating a movement trajectory of cargo acquired in a non-invasive manner, first data indicating a temporal change of a position of the cargo during a period in which the displacement of the cargo per unit time is substantially constant is acquired, a fluctuation value calculation step in which, based on a first probability distribution indicating a distribution of a probability that the amount of change at a predetermined position of the cargo per unit time is a predetermined amount, which is a probability distribution based on the first data, a fluctuation value proportional to a force applied to the cargo by motor proteins that transport the cargo is calculated, and a force calculation step in which the force is calculated based on the calculated fluctuation value.

To provide magnetic composite particles which can be separated from a sample solution in a short period of time using magnetism, and furthermore, have an excellent dispersion stability in the sample solution, which are magnetic composite particles in which an outer shell is formed on surfaces of core particles containing an inorganic oxide or a polymer, wherein the outer shell comprises magnetic nanoparticles and a silicon compound, the value of the volume average particle diameter (dTEM) of the magnetic composite particles measured by a transmission electron microscope is 30 nm or more to 210 nm or less, and the value of (dDLS)/(dTEM) which is the ratio of the value of the particle diameter (dDLS) of the particles measured by a dynamic light scattering method and the value of the volume average particle diameter (dTEM) is 2.0 or less.
