DEF

A technique in which an optical characteristic of a substance is measured as a function of temperature while the substance is subjected to a controlled temperature programme.

OBS

Measurement of total light, light of specific wavelength(s), refractive index and luminescence [as a function of temperature] give thermophotometry, thermospectrometry, thermorefractometry and thermoluminescence, respectively, [and] observation under the microscope [as a function of temperature] leads to thermomicroscopy.

OBS

thermoptometry: term and definition standardized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

Key term(s)
  • thermo-optometry
  • thermal optometry

DEF

Technique selon laquelle une caractéristique optique d'un échantillon est mesurée en fonction de la température, l'échantillon étant soumis à un programme de température déterminé.

OBS

Les mesures de la lumière totale, de la lumière à longueur d'onde spécifique, de l'indice de réfraction et de la luminescence [en fonction de la température] deviennent respectivement la thermophotométrie, la thermospectrométrie, la thermoréfractométrie et la thermoluminescence, [et] l'observation avec un microscope [en fonction de la température] devient la thermomicroscopie.

OBS

thermoptométrie : terme et définition normalisés par l'Organisation internationale de normalisation (ISO).
