Along-track scanners also use the forward motion of the platform to record successive scan lines and build up a two-dimensional image, perpendicular to the flight direction. However, instead of a scanning mirror, they use a linear array of detectors located at the focal plane of the image formed by lens systems, which are "pushed" along in the flight track direction (i.e. along track). These systems are also referred to as pushbroom scanners, as the motion of the detector array is analogous to the bristles of a broom being pushed along a floor. 3, record 6, English, - along%2Dtrack%20scanner

Le microscope à ultraviolets utilise le rayonnement ultraviolet au lieu de la lumière visible. Les longueurs d’ondes de ce rayonnement, plus courtes que celles de la lumière visible, procurent à ce type de microscope une meilleure résolution. L'absorption sélective de la bande des rayons ultraviolets dans différentes longueurs d’ondes permet de renforcer certains détails de l'échantillon observé. Comme le verre ne laisse pas passer les ultraviolets de faible longueur d’onde, on utilise des systèmes optiques en quartz, en fluorine et des miroirs en aluminium.

The Black Body Calibration Mechanism. The black body observations are performed at least once a day. The mechanism uses two black bodies: one having the ambient spacecraft temperature and one heated to about 50 K above it. First the black body at ambient spacecraft temperature is viewed, and forms the reference signal. Then the heated black body is viewed, and the temperature difference between both black bodies is used to obtain the response of the detectors. The obtained response is converted into counts and transmitted to earth. 4, record 9, English, - black%2Dbody%20calibration

Record number: 10, 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 10, English, - confocal%20laser%20scanning%20microscopy

Principe de la microscopie confocale à balayage laser(MCBL). Le rayon laser excitateur pénètre dans l'échantillon préalablement marqué par des fluorochromes [...], auparavant répertoriés et choisis en fonction de leurs propriétés à se fixer sur des molécules particulières d’une structure ou d’un objet d’intérêt. 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. Le signal reçu est enfin converti en signal numérique, contribuant à la création d’une image [...] 2, record 10, French, - microscopie%20confocale%20%C3%A0%20balayage%20laser
