Everything has motion.
This is an actual sailfin goby, and if you look at it in real time, it actually doesn't even show its fanning motion because it's so quick.
And it turns out, there's a lot of phenomena we can reveal and magnify with our new motion microscope.
We can see that our eyes are constantly moving in this wobbly motion.
But when I'm really small, the forces between my feet and the ground are going to affect my locomotion a lot more than my mass, which is what causes that bouncy motion.

What if we could use video to capture the vibrations of sound, which are just another kind of motion, and turn everything that we see into a microphone?
Traditional microphones work by converting the motion of an internal diaphragm into an electrical signal, and that diaphragm is designed to move readily with sound so that its motion can be recorded and interpreted as audio.

If our eyes were quick enough, we might be able to observe this periodic motion directly, like we can with the cork and the ocean.
