The drawing apparatus does not project an image originating from the microscope, it rather adds an external image, that of the drawing, to the one normally observed in the microscope eyepiece.... The drawing attachment described here fits easily between the binocular tube and the tube support of a Wild compound microscope. It is a tubular piece, protruding horizontally to the left or the right hand of the observer.... Similar "drawing tubes" for camera lucida viewing with stereomicroscopes are also available. Because each ocular in the stereomicroscope produces an image of the specimen from a different angle, both images together give the impression of 3D-vision, but obviously, the drawing picked up from the drawing tube can be superimposed with only one of the two members of the stereopair. 1, record 2, English, - drawing%20tube

This occurs in all the camera tubes such as the iconoscope, image iconoscope, orthicon, image orthicon and vidicon which have been successfully used in television services. Storage occurs by virtue of the capacitance of the target and it brings about a considerable increase in the sensitivity of the tube. In fact it was not until the advantage of the storage principle was appreciated that tubes sensitive enough for use in television services became possible. 2, record 3, English, - storage%20camera%20tube

SPI, or Sediment Profile Imagery, is an innovative and cost efficient method of surveying and/or monitoring lake or marine aquatic environments with a view to establishing the environmental status of these habitats or as part of a site suitability study.... SPI is based on single lens reflex(SLR) camera photography and computer-based image analysis which greatly accelerates the time required to write reports and provide relevant data to the client/legislator in a matter of weeks. SPI technology can readily quantify over 20 physical, chemical and biological parameters including : sediment grain size; prism penetration; surface pelletal layer; sediment surface relief; mud clasts; redox area; redox contrast; current apparent redox boundary; relict redox boundaries; methane gas vesicles; apparent faunal dominants; voids; burrows; surface features(e. g. worm tubes, epifauna, shell) ;dredged material; microbial aggregations; and successional stage. 1, record 7, English, - sediment%20profile%20imagery

Des photographies de profils sédimentaires obtenus de carottes prélevées à l'aide de carottiers en plexiglass Hargrave ont servi à mettre au point un moyen nouveau pour déterminer l'enrichissement en matières organiques. Des plongeurs autonomes prélèvent des carottes de sédiments pouvant aller jusqu'à 30 cm de longueur; une fois ramenées à la surface, les carottes sont photographiées, sous-échantillonnées et interprétées. L'interprétation repose sur la profondeur de discontinuité de l'oxydo-réduction et la présence ou l'absence d'organismes, de terriers et de vides, tels que révélés par les photographies numériques. On obtient ainsi un nombre intégré attribuable à l'indice d'enrichissement organique. M. Wildish a prouvé la justesse de cette méthode, appelée imagerie de profils sédimentaires (IPS), aux sites salmonicoles de la baie de Fundy et on prévoit aussi la mettre à l'essai à des installations semblables en Tasmanie (Australie). 1, record 7, French, - imagerie%20de%20profils%20s%C3%A9dimentaires

[Taking Close-ups. ] To extend the lens enough to focus on objects at very close distances, you must insert an extension ring, a tube, or a bellows between the lens and the camera body. Extension rings and tubes are often available in sets of various lengths, so they may be used singly or in combination for a number of different extensions.

Video cameras. Video cameras can contain many different sensing elements and signal output formats. The majority of camera systems use vidicon tubes as the image-sensing element. A vidicon tube, like the cathode ray tube, contains an electron gun and a screen.
