| amplified fragment length polymorphism | <technique> Invented by KeyGene, a Dutch biotech company based in Wageningen, Holland. The technique is now merchandised under licence agreement by Perkin Elmer. Selected markers are amplified in a PCR, which makes amplified fragment length polymorphism an easy and fast tool for strain identification in agriculture, botany, microbiology and animal breeding. Acronym: AFLP (05 Feb 1998) |
| amplifier | <microscopy> When the projected image of the microscope is projected less than 250 mm the objective may be moved enough from its usual position (for visual observation) to degrade the image. It can be restored by adding a lens above the ocular to bring the image into focus on the desired plane but with the objective still in its position of best-corrected image. A similar system requires an ocular in which the same corrections are made. Such lens systems are termed amplifiers. (05 Aug 1998) |

| amplitude | 1. State of being ample; extent of surface or space; largeness of dimensions; size. "The cathedral of Lincoln . . . Is a magnificent structure, proportionable to the amplitude of the diocese." (Fuller) 2. Largeness, in a figurative sense; breadth; abundance; fullness. Of extent of capacity or intellectual powers. "Amplitude of mind." . "Amplitude of comprehension." . Of extent of means or resources. "Amplitude of reward." . 3. <astronomy> The arc of the horizon between the true east or west point and the center of the sun, or a star, at its rising or setting. At the rising, the amplitude is eastern or ortive: at the setting, it is western, occiduous, or occasive. It is also northern or southern, when north or south of the equator. The arc of the horizon between the true east or west point and the foot of the vertical circle passing through any star or object. 4. The horizontal line which measures the distance to which a projectile is thrown; the range. 5. <physics> The extent of a movement measured from the starting point or position of equilibrium; applied especially to vibratory movements. 6. <mathematics> An angle upon which the value of some function depends; a term used more especially in connection with elliptic functions. Magnetic amplitude, the angular distance of a heavenly body, when on the horizon, from the magnetic east or west point as indicated by the compass. The difference between the magnetic and the true or astronomical amplitude (see 3 above) is the "variation of the compass." Origin: L. Amplitudo, fr. Amplus: cf. F. Amplitude. See Ample.
