The nanoreactors, also coined as Zero-Mode Waveguide, are shown here at different magnification. Clockwise, one sees a photograph of a full array showing each individual well used to hold the solution under study (A), followed by a close up view of the array of ZMW present in each of the wells (B), an optical micrograph at increased magnification of one of the sub-array shows the individual ZMW (C) and finally, a scanning electron micrograph shows one single ZMW (D). The ZMW create extremely small focal volume, of the order of a couple tens of zeptoliters. Such small probe volumes have tremendous potential to study the processivity of a single enzyme molecule, yielding new insight into the mechanisms of proteins.
