Measuring weak ergodicity breaking. Particles initially bound to a surface will eventually unbind and start to diffuse in the bulk. One can i), measure their immediate unbinding from the surface; ii), observe their leaving a focal zone of width Δ; or iii), observe their first passage across a plane at a distance Λ from the surface.
