Microprojector. - In basic principle similar to a microscope, it has a powerful light source enabling the magnified image to be projected on to a screen so that the whole class can see it. Prepared slides and live material can be used and it has many applications, particularly in biology. 5, record 1, English, - microprojector

Le micro-projecteur est une forme spécialisée du diascope. Il remplace les microscopes individuels [...] et indique [...] exactement au maître ce que l'élève voit réellement. Certaines préparations [...] peuvent être produites par le maître et les élèves : coupe d'une feuille, œil d'insecte, tissus, etc... L'avantage de cet appareil est qu'il présente [...] la réalité elle-même, fortement grossie [...] 2, record 1, French, - microprojecteur

Nanolithography with the STM [scanning tunnelling microscope]. ... research on metallic structures with feature sizes smaller than about 100 nm is just beginning. The goal of our group is the production of metallic circuit lines smaller than 100 nm and the investigation of transport and magnetic properties. 3, record 2, English, - nanolithography

Nanolithography is the art and science of etching, writing, or printing at the microscopic level, where the dimensions of characters are on the order of nanometres. This includes various methods of modifying semiconductor chips at the atomic level for the purpose of fabricating integrated circuits(ICs). Instruments used in nanolithography include the scanning tunnelling microscope(STM) and the atomic force microscope(AFM). Both allow surface viewing in fine detail without necessarily modifying it. Either the STM or the AFM can be used to etch, write, or print on a surface in single-atom dimensions. 4, record 2, English, - nanolithography

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
La nanolithographie permet de fabriquer des circuits électroniques extrêmement denses et d'augmenter ainsi la vitesse de calcul des microprocesseurs et la capacité des mémoires. Alors que les procédés de microlithographie utilisent la lumière visible ou ultraviolette pour projeter l'image du circuit sur le substrat à graver (silicium), la nanolithographie fait appel à un rayonnement de longueur d'onde plus courte (rayons X) ou à un faisceau d'électrons. 3, record 2, French, - nanolithographie
