Figure 3

Discrete steps in the vertical position of droplet in the trap. (a) The green line shows a fit of the data shown in Fig. 2b using a step function. The height of the steps is an integer multiple of the single electron step fitting parameter (see discussion in text). The magenta line shows a plot of the residue between the data and the fit. (b) Histogram of the residue measured in units of electron steps. The normal distribution around zero results from the discrete nature of the steps.
