1. A gyroscope comprising a pair of constituent gyroscopes, each of the constituent gyroscopes comprising:

  • a proof mass;

    a frame supporting the proof mass;

    a connection arrangement connecting the proof mass and the frame, the connection arrangement having a first stiffness in a first direction and a second stiffness in the second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction, one of the stiffnesses being significantly greater than the other stiffness; and

    a pair of elements, one of which is a quantum tunnelling sensing tip, adapted to sense motion therebetween in either the first or the second direction.
