[The] Multi-Spectral Scanner... is a line scanning device which records from four bands, two in the visible and two in the near infrared spectral bands. The system is comprised of a telescope, a mirror which reflects ground radiation onto a bank of 24 electro-optical sensors, band filters and a sampling system, an internal calibration system and various devices which ensure an orderly stream of digital data for each pixel and spectral band. It images six scan lines in each of the four spectral bands simultaneously giving a 24 scan-line total. 3, record 2, English, - linear%20scanning

Ionisation par désorption de plasma252 CF(...) On utilise des fragments de fission de l'isotope 252 du californium pour vaporiser et ioniser l'échantillon. Chaque fission du252 Cf, produit deux fragments dirigés en sens opposés(...) L'un d’eux passe à travers un film fin de Mylar(...) aluminisé sur lequel une solution de l'échantillon solide a été déposée. Celui-ci est désorbé et ionisé par un mécanisme faisant intervenir des transferts d’électrons avec la surface du support. Chaque fission engendre une dizaine d’ions et il se produit 2 500 fissions par seconde. Les ions sont séparés par un analyseur à temps de vol. L'autre fragment de fission est détecté par un scintillateur couplé à un photomultiplicateur. Il provoque le balayage synchrone de l'analyseur à temps de vol. On accumule des séries de résultats pour aboutir à un spectre de masse. 1, record 5, French, - ionisation%20par%20d%C3%A9sorption%20de%20plasma%20252%20Cf
