“…The coverslip is then moved in a known and controlled way using, e.g., a nanopositioning stage. Typical patterns include steps [14,10,128,129,5,18] ((Figure 7d), circles [36], sinusoids [14,4,45,6,19], and helices [36,5,27] (Figure 7e). Because the ground truth of the motion is known, this approach can be used to characterize response time and tracking error.…”
