The near-field microscope is an advanced optical microscope that is able to resolve details slightly smaller than the wavelength of visible light. This high resolution is achieved by passing a light beam through a tiny hole at a distance from the specimen of only about half the diameter of the hole. The light is played across the specimen until an entire image is obtained. 3, record 2, English, - near%2Dfield%20microscope

Un microscope à sonde locale ne possède pas de lentille; la pièce la plus importante de ces microscopes est une sonde, très fine, qui est déplacée au voisinage de l'objet, en champ proche, pour l'éclairer ou encapter un signal. Ces microscopes sont des microscopes à balayage; l'image est obtenue en déplaçant point par point la sonde et en traçant le signal détecté en fonction de sa position. Ils nécessitent l'utilisation d'un ordinateur pour visualiser les images, mais aussi pour contrôler la position de la sonde qui doit se déplacer à des distances nanométriques de la surface de l'objet. 4, record 2, French, - microscope%20%C3%A0%20champ%20proche

SNOM is the acronym for "scanning near-field optical microscopy, "an alternative name for NSOM(near-field scanning optical microscopy). The basic principle of such a kind of technique is quite simple : light passes through a sub-wavelength diameter aperture and illuminates a sample that is placed within its near field, at a distance much less than the wavelength of the light. The resolution achieved is far better than that which conventional optical microscopes can attain. 4, record 4, English, - scanning%20near%2Dfield%20optical%20microscopy

Microscopists are now in a position to transfer the refinements of the past 100-year techniques for enhancing contrast and highlighting specific features, such as polarization contrast, immunofluorescence and phase contrast to scanning near-field optical microscopy. With existing scanned-probe microscopes we can "see" the nanometer realm of molecules and microcircuits. As the same technology is applied to optical microscopy, we may eventually come to see that world in the familiar terms of light, shadow and color. 6, record 4, English, - scanning%20near%2Dfield%20optical%20microscopy

Positional cloning of disease gene loci assigned to 8q24 can be assisted by a high resolution map of this genomic area. In an effort to improve the resolution of the 8q24 map, we have undertaken radiation hybrid(RH) mapping. This method compliments the existing mapping strategies of meiotic mapping(Gyapay et al., 1994) and somatic cell hybrid panels(Wagner et al., 1991; Parrish et al., 1994), but at a higher resolution and with particular emphasis on defining the order and intermarker distance of loci in regions of interest. 1, record 5, English, - positional%20cloning

The spatial resolution of a RADAR image is controlled by the size of the pulse on the ground, which is a function of the range resolution and azimuth resolution... The actual distance on the ground resolved is that between the leading and trailing edge of the pulse. Steeper depression angles and longer pulse lengths lead to a decrease in range resolution. Longer pulses result in an echo from over a larger area on the ground, and hence objects close together are not resolved. 2, record 11, English, - steeper%20depression%20angle

In a long synthetic aperture (array), SAR focusing involves the removal and compensation of path length differences from the antenna to the target on the ground. 2, record 12, English, - SAR%20focusing
Record number: 12, Textual support number: 2 CONT
The main advantage of a focused synthetic aperture is that it increases its array length over those radar signals that can be processed, and thus increases potential SAR resolution at any range. SAR focusing is a necessary process when the length of a synthetic array is a significant fraction of the range to ground being imaged, as the lines-of-sight(range) from a particular point on the ground to each individual element of the array differ in distance. These range differences, or path length differences, of the radar signals can affect image quality. In a focused SAR image these phase errors can be compensated for by applying a phase correction to the return signal at each synthetic aperture element. Focusing errors may be introduced by unknown or uncorrected platform motion. In an unfocused SAR image, the usable synthetic aperture length is quite limited. 2, record 12, English, - SAR%20focusing

A long-focus lens gives a high resolution image over quite a narrow field of view. Its long focal length means that the main lens elements must be mounted at the front of a long tube to be at a sufficient distance from the film to form a sharp image. 2, record 13, English, - long%20focal%20length%20lens

Objectifs de longue focale - Leur angle de champ est inférieur ou très inférieur à celui de l'objectif normal. [...] Un objectif de longue focale donne une image dont la perspective - la convergence naturelle des lignes parallèles du sujet - semble moins forte. Les plans du sujet, normalement étagés en profondeur - un paysage, par exemple - paraissent se confondre les uns avec les autres. 5, record 13, French, - objectif%20%C3%A0%20longue%20focale
