Record 2 2000-11-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Optics
  • Computer Hardware
DEF

A truncated spherical lens that takes converging light from conventional CD optics and brings it to a focus on the bottom face of a transparent read/write head.

CONT

A high refractive index solid immersion lens(SIL) improves the resolution of optical microscopes. This near-field optical technique operates without limiting apertures and offers both high optical resolution and high optical throughput.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Optique
  • Matériel informatique
OBS

Cette lentille a une forme de sphère tronquée, et son principe ressemble à celui qui est utilisé dans la microscopie à immersion liquide : la lentille et l'objet à observer sont placés dans un liquide, souvent de l'huile, dont l'indice de réfraction, différent de celui de l'air, augmente l'agrandissement en focalisant les rayons lumineux.

Record 3 1992-09-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radiography (Medicine)
  • Musculoskeletal System
CONT

An immersion technique for the fingers, accomplished by immersing the hand and forearm(or the forefoot) in 70 per cent ethanol solution, improves the resolution of skin and subcutaneous structures over that possible with nonimmersion low KV radiography, because the uniformly deep liquid layer equalizes the differences in thickness of the fingers.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Radiographie (Médecine)
  • Appareil locomoteur (Médecine)
DEF

La technique d'immersion des doigts, qui consiste à immerger la main et l'avant-bras (ou l'avant-pied) dans une solution d'éthanol à 70%, fait ressortir les détails des structures cutanées et sous-cutanées davantage que la radiographie basse tension sans immersion, parce que la couche liquidienne de profondeur uniforme rend égales les différences d'épaisseur des doigts.
