Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT

Quadrupole ICP-MS [inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry] is currently the method of choice for laser-ablation applications since sector-field instruments are generally considered too slow for the acquisition of rapidly varying signals. However, the new generation of double-focusing sector-field mass spectrometers is capable of rapidly scanning the mass spectrum both magnetically and electrostatically, and the combination of these two scan modes approaches the performance of quadrupoles for most practical applications. ... The capability of the adopted configuration to furnish high-quality in situ trace-element analysis of minerals and U-Pb geochronological data is described.  2, record 1, English, - sector%20field%20mass%20spectrometer

Les appareils ICP-MS [inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry] munis d’un quadrupole sont préférés de nos jours dans les applications faisant appel à l'ablation au laser(LA), parce que les appareils à secteurs partagés sont généralement considérés trop lents dans l'acquisition de signaux qui varient rapidement. Toutefois, avec la nouvelle génération de spectromètres de masse à secteurs partagés et à double foyer, nous sommes capables de balayer rapidement le spectre des masses à la fois selon les propriétés magnétiques et électrostatiques. La combinaison des deux modes de balayage se rapproche des quadrupoles en performance dans la plupart des applications pratiques. [...] Nous documentons la capacité du système configuré ainsi à effectuer des analyses de minéraux in situ de haute qualité pour les éléments traces, y compris pour les applications géochronologiques utilisant le système U-Pb.  3, record 1, French, - spectrom%C3%A8tre%20de%20masse%20%C3%A0%20secteur%20magn%C3%A9tique

Record number: 6, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Progressive-scan DVD players add an important additional step to create a better-looking picture - they generate a progressive-scan video signal through a process called de-interlacing (sometimes called "line-doubling"). The de-interlacer's first task is to look at the interlaced video signal as it leaves the MPEG decoder and determine whether its original source was 24-frame-per-second film or 30-frame-per-second video. The original frame rate determines the type of processing necessary to create an optimized progressive-scan signal.  3, record 6, English, - line%2Ddoubling

Record number: 7, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy (LSCM, also referred to as CSLM, Confocal Scanning Laser Microscopy) is now established as a valuable tool for obtaining high resolution images and 3-D reconstructions of a variety of biological specimens. In LSCM, a laser light beam is expanded to make optimal use of the optics in the objective. Through a x-y deflection mechanism this beam is turned into a scanning beam, focussed to a small spot by an objective lens onto a fluorescent specimen. The mixture of reflected light and emitted fluorescent light is captured by the same objective and (after conversion into a static beam by the x-y scanner device) is focused onto a photodetector (photomultiplier) via a dichroic mirror (beam splitter). The reflected light is deviated by the dichroic mirror while the emitted fluorescent light passes through in the direction of the photomultiplier. A confocal aperture (pinhole) is placed in front of the photodetector, such that the fluorescent light (not the reflected light!) from points on the specimen that are not within the focal plane (the so called out-of-focus light) where the laser beam was focussed will be largly obstructed by the pinhole. In this way, out-of-focus information (both above and below the focal plane) is greatly reduced.  2, record 7, English, - confocal%20laser%20scanning%20microscopy

Lors de l’impact optique, il y a émission de rayons lumineux provenant de différents plans de la préparation. Grâce à un diaphragme variable («trou d’aiguille» - pinhole), il est possible de sélectionner les rayons émis par un seul plan de préparation et d’éliminer le signal provenant d’autres plans. Les rayons réfléchis sont filtrés en fonction de leur longueurs d’onde puis détectés par des photo-multiplicateurs.
