\caption[Euler rotation of Cartesian coordinates]{The rotation scheme for Euler angles. First is a rotation of $\phi$ about the $z$ axis (blue rotation). Next is a rotation of $\theta$ about the new $x\prime$ axis (green rotation). Lastly is a final rotation of $\psi$ about the new $z\prime$ axis (red rotation).} |
