There was a visual error in this episode: in one scene the bridge elevator doors were gray.

This episode's author, Paul Schneider, previously had written two episodes of the Original STAR TREK series, "Balance of Terror" and "The Squire of Gothos."

There was an error in this episode. After becoming smaller, Lieutenant Arex mentions that his eyes no longer reach his station's opticals, but the navigator station has no opticals.

This idea of some of the crew being miniaturized by some scientific phenomena, was used again in the February 1998 STAR TREK: Deep Space Nine episode "One Little Ship".
