Summary[edit]

Description

The NIST force sensor is a crystal of ions (charged atoms) trapped inside the upper region of the copper cylinder. A laser beam directed upward through the trap cools the ions. A force is applied in the form of oscillating electric field, and a detector (not shown) measures the light reflected off the ions.
