The beam is moved in a point-to-point manner over the surface of the specimen. These electrons are deflected, collected, accelerated, and directed against a scintillator. The large number of photons thus created are converted into an electric signal that, in turn, modulates the beam scanning the surface of the specimen.

Recherches par mesure de l'intensité du signal. Dans cette méthode, le signal du radiophare est mesuré au moyen de l'indicateur d'intensité de signal du récepteur. On détermine le long de la trajectoire initiale de l'aéronef de recherches qui pénètre dans la zone deux positions pour lesquelles l'indication est la même, ainsi que le milieu du segment qui les joint. (Ce point coïncidera avec le point d'intensité maximale du signal, si celui-ci pouvait être déterminé de façon précise.) Le pilote fait alors demi-tour et lorsqu'il atteint le milieu du segment, il vire à angle droit vers la gauche ou la droite. Si le signal s'évanouit, cela signifie de toute évidence que le pilote se dirige dans la mauvaise direction; il fait alors demi-tour. Deux autres points de même intensité de signal sont alors déterminés sur cette nouvelle trajectoire. (Cette fois-ci le point pour lequel l'intensité relevée est maximale, s'il est déterminé de manière précise, est également l'emplacement du radiophare.) Après avoir passé le deuxième point (de même intensité de signal), le pilote fait demi-tour et descend à l'altitude appropriée. Il s'est révélé que cette méthode de recherches, si elle est appliquée avec soin, est très précise et peut éviter toutes recherches ultérieures. 1, record 7, French, - recherches%20par%20mesure%20de%20l%27intensit%C3%A9%20du%20signal

[Transceiver Search. ] The second method is the grid method. When you find a signal, traverse back and forth across the slope. Where you think the signal is strongest(or, better yet, midway between fade points), you simply make a perpendicular turn(90 degrees to the old direction) and follow this new line. If the signal fades, it's the wrong way, so turn around(180 degrees) and march in the other direction until you hear the strongest signal(remember to keep turning down the volume).

Signal reception. Most signal receptors are plasma membrane proteins. The signal protein matches the shape of a specific site on the receptor protein. The signal protein acts as ligand, a small protein that specifically binds to large one. The binding of the signal protein causes a conformational change in the receptor protein, which in turn can now activate another molecule. Most signal proteins are water soluble and too large to pass through the plasma membrane. 2, record 10, English, - signal%20protein
