1-15. (canceled)
An apparatus for measuring a characteristic of a sample, the apparatus being a spinning force system, and comprising:
- a module comprising:
- a sample holder;
- a light source configured to illuminate the sample;
- an imaging axis oriented along a direction at which light from the light source hits the sample holder;
- and
- a detector configured to receive light from the light source,
- wherein the spinning force system is arranged such that a direction of centrifugal force applied to the sample holder by a centrifuge and the imaging axis are misaligned in order to track lateral particle motion.
