The basic Kusnetz technique employed a count rate meter to measure the alpha emission rate from the sample, and had a practical detection limit of about 0.3 WL [working levels]. The modified technique requires the use of a scaler in place of the count rate meter, and this results in a reduction of the practical detection limit to about 0.03 WL. 1, record 3, English, - scaler

La technique de base de Kusnetz faisait appel à un ictomètre (détecteur de taux de comptage) afin de mesurer le taux d'émission alpha dû à l'échantillon et sa limite pratique de détection était environ 0,3 WL [unités alpha]. La technique modifiée nécessite l'utilisation d'une échelle de comptage au lieu du détecteur de taux, ce qui entraîne la réduction de la limite de détection pratique à environ 0,03 WL. 1, record 3, French, - %C3%A9chelle%20de%20comptage

Scaling refers to conversion of the image matrix without changing the image contents. The digital matrix-oriented projectors and monitors often have a different natural resolution to that of the image signal. The process required to adapt the image from a video signal to a graphics card signal, e.g. 1024 x 768 pixels, is called video scaling. 4, record 4, English, - video%20scaler
