To further increase this amplification, a system of mirrors was designed so that the laser would reflect off the cantilever multiple times over the same small lengthwise distance, multiplying the measured change in amplitude by the number of “bounces.” After coming out from the mirror system the laser projects onto the screen, where its sinusoidal motion reflects that of the cantilever. The motion of the laser point (keeping the number of bounces constant) was recorded at 1200 frames per second using a Casio Exilim Pro EX-F1 Digital Camera for each point along the length, moving at approximately one centimeter increments and recording the position of the center mirror relative to the cantilever base.
