Measuring Nanoscale Motion Through Microscale Machine

Caption

(Top) Image showing the microelectromechanical linkage that converts translation (straight arrow) into rotation (curved arrow). The red box indicates the region of the rotating part that has fluorescent nanoparticles on it. (Bottom) Image showing the fluorescent nanoparticles on the rotating part of the linkage. Tracking the nanoparticles enables tests of the performance and reliability of the system. Credit NIST
