McCann, McKee and Taylor next measured the radiance, or energy at the eye, of the various Mondrian areas and of the matching Munsell chips by using a photomultiplier in conjunction with a version of the retinex filters. Since the retinex-photomultiplier combination integrates the flux of radiant energy over a broad band of wavelengths, the instrument provides a value we call integrated radiance. McCann and his colleagues then obtained the integrated radiances from a large sheet of white paper placed under each of the experimental illuminants that had been used to light the Mondrian in the chip-matching experiment. 1, record 12, English, - integrated%20radiance

Dans une autre expérience, McCann, McKee et Taylor ont mesuré la radiance, c'est-à-dire l'énergie envoyée à l'œil par les diverses zones du «Mondrian» et par les papiers du livre de Munsell; pour mesurer cette énergie, ils ont utilisé un photomultiplicateur et des filtres du type rétinex. La combinaison de ces deux appareils, photomultiplicateur et filtre, intègre le flux d'énergie dans une large gamme de longueurs d'onde: elle donne une valeur qu'on appelle radiance intégrée.

Surveying instruments such as theodolites(transits) and total stations often have a circular bubble as well as a tubular level or "plate level. "The circular bubble is used to roughly level the instrument in two dimensions and then the plate level, being more precise, is used to level the instrument more precisely in each dimension separately by leveling the plate level, then spinning the instrument 90 degrees and leveling the plate level again. 3, record 18, English, - bull%26rsquo%3Bs%20eye%20level
