| specimen holder | <microscopy> A device which supports the specimen and specimen screen in the correct position in the specimen chamber of the microscope. (05 Aug 1998) |
| specimen interaction | <microscopy> Reactions that occur inside the specimen when being struck with a beam of energetic electrons or ions. (05 Aug 1998) |
| specimen interaction volume | <microscopy> The volume inside the specimen in which all specimen interactions occur during electron beam irradiation. (05 Aug 1998) |
| specimen screen | <microscopy> A disk of fine screen, usually 200-mesh stainless steel, copper, or nickel, which supports the replica or specimen support film for observation in the microscope. (05 Aug 1998) |
| specimen stage | <microscopy> The part of the microscope which supports the specimen holder and specimen in the microscope, and can be moved in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis from outside the column. (05 Aug 1998) |
| double-voided specimen | This refers to a urine specimen which is collected after first emptying the bladder and then waiting until another specimen can be collected. These double-voided urine specimens are more accurate for purposes of glucose testing (urinalysis). If you test a urine specimen that has been held in the bladder for an extended period of time, it will not accurately reflect the glucose content in the bloodstream. A freshly, double voided specimen is preferred. (27 Sep 1997) |
| type specimen | <zoology> Any specimen of the type series. (09 Jan 1998) |
