(a) The schematic of the device for micromirror actuation consisted of four quarter ring shaped heaters; (b) the device loaded with a droplet with a microplate on top. Switching the heaters leads to actuation of the droplet and hence tilting the microplate. Copyright 2009, IEEE. Reprinted, with permission, from [209], R. Dhull, I. Puchades, L. Fuller, and Y.
