Diagram showing distances between molecules measured in polyproline "rulers" between 5 and 30 repeats long. The distances are arranged like rungs on a ladder, with the shortest at the bottom and the longest at the top. A separate diagram on the right shows the measurement uncertainty in each position determination.
