In the North Durbank tertiary recovery pilot, gelled polymer treatments were used to correct vertical conformance problems. ... This kind of ... treatment can improve the sweep efficiency of the various chemical processes. Improved sweep efficiency can come from better vertical or areal conformance or from both. 3, record 1, English, - sweep%20efficiency

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 2, 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 2, English, - scanning%20near%2Dfield%20optical%20microscopy

Ces interactions se produisent à l’échelle moléculaire, c’est pourquoi il est très important d’analyser les propriétés physico-chimiques de la surface à l’échelle atomique et moléculaire. Pour ce faire nous utilisons dans notre groupe les techniques de microscopie à champ proche à balayage : microscopie à effet tunnel (STM), microscopie à force atomique ou effet de force (AFM-SFM), microscopie optique à champ proche à balayage (SNOM). 1, record 2, French, - microscopie%20optique%20%C3%A0%20champ%20proche%20%C3%A0%20balayage

L'équipe [...] a réussi à visualiser ce phénomène biologique en recourant à la microscopie optique à balayage à champ proche(NSOM). Cette technologie d’imagerie éclaire la cellule en canalisant la lumière dans une sonde à fibre optique plus petite qu'un micron. La minuscule ouverture de la sonde(guère plus de 50 nanomètres de diamètre) interdit la diffraction des rayons lumineux qui réduit normalement la résolution en microscopie classique. 3, record 2, French, - microscopie%20optique%20%C3%A0%20champ%20proche%20%C3%A0%20balayage
