| 설명 | 베타-수용체(1과 2에 관계없이)의 기능을 억제시키는 약물로 이 수용체가 매개하여 생기는 신체의 변화를 억제한다. Propranolol이 좋은 예이다. |

| 영문 | infrared ray | 한글 | 적외선 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 파장이 가시광선보다 길며 극초단파보다 짧은 750μm~1mm의 전자파. 눈으로는 볼 수 없고 일반적으로 공기 가운데에서 산란되기 어려우며, 가시광선보다 투과력이 강하다. 사진 적외선-근적외선-원적외선 따위로 나눌 수 있는데, 단파장 부분에는 사진 작용-형광 작용-광전 작용이 있어, 적외선 사진이나 적외선 통신-물질 감정-의료 따위에 이용한다. 1800년에 허셀이 발견되었다. 적외선은 물질에 부딛치며 구성분자의 열운동을 일으켜서 열효과를 주게되므로 열선이라고도 불린다. 태양광선의 약 52%는 적외선이다. 700~800nm의 적외선은 인체피부를 투과해서 피하에까지 이른다. 과도의 적외선 조사는 피부에 온열성홍반을 일으키게 해서 화상을 일으킬 수 있다. |

| ap, X-ray | An X-ray picture in which the beams pass from front-to-back (anteroposterior). As opposed to a PA (posteroanterior) film in which the rays pass through the body from back-to-front. (12 Dec 1998) |

| binocular microscope | <instrument, microscopy> A microscope fitted with double eyepieces for vision with both eyes. The purpose in dividing the same image from a single objective of the usual compound micro-scope is to reduce eyestrain and muscular fatigue which may result from monocular, high-power microscopy. The purpose in obtaining a different image for each of two oculars is to provide stereoscopy by means of two different angles of view. There are two kinds of stereoscopic microscopes: binobjective (Greenough) older type and monobjective (common main objective) newer type. (See stereo microscope, Greenough microscope, etc.) (05 Aug 1998) |
| gamma ray | <radiobiology> Electromagnetic radiation (photons) with energies greater than (roughly) 100 keV (that is, 100,000 electron volts). Gamma radiation frequently accompanies alpha and beta decays, and always accompanies fission. Gamma rays are highly penetrating and are best shielded against using dense materials, such as lead or depleted uranium. (Gamma rays are similar to X-rays, but are generally higher in energy and nuclear in origin.) Gamma rays have wavelengths of 1 nanometre or shorter. These are highly energised, deeply penetrating photons which can be emitted from an atomic nucleus during nuclear fission (the splitting of an atom) and during regular atomic decay (radioactivity). (13 Oct 1997) |
| gamma ray knife | A beam of high energy X-rays. See: radiosurgery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| panoramic X-ray | <dentistry> An X-ray taken by a machine that rotates around your head to give the orthodontist a picture of your teeth, jaws and other important information. (08 Jan 1998) |
| panoramic X-ray film | In dentistry, a radiograph taken to give a panoramic view of the entire upper and lower dental arch as well as the temporomandibular joints. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ray | <botany> A zygomorphic flower in the family Asteraceae, a radial band of cells traversing the conducting elements in woody stems. Of a compound umbel, one of the first (lower) series of branches of the inflorescence main stem. (09 Oct 1997) |
| ray grass | <botany> A perennial European grass (Lolium perenne). Synonym: rye grass, and red darnel. See Darnel, and Grass. Italian ray, or rye, grass. See Darnel, and Grass. Origin: Etymol. Of ray is uncertain. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| ray, light | <microscopy> The term applied to the lines perpendicular to the wavefronts of waves of light to indicate their direction of travel in an isotropic medium. Note the wave normal and the ray do not coincide in isotropic media. (05 Aug 1998) |
| ray therapeutics | An obsolete term for radiotherapy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mass chest X-ray | X-ray screening of large groups of persons for diseases of the lung and heart by means of radiography of the chest. (12 Dec 1998) |
| reflected ray | A ray of light or other form of radiant energy which is thrown back from a nonpermeable or nonabsorbing surface; the ray which strikes the surface before reflection is the incident ray. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reflection X-ray microscopy | <technique> A method of producing enlarged images by means of X rays. In this method the radiation is totally reflected at glancing incidence from polished concave mirrors or from the curved surfaces of single crystals by Bragg reflection. The problem of aberration corrections still limits the resolution obtainable. (05 Aug 1998) |
| cathode ray | <physics> Electrons emitted from the surface of a cathode in a vacuum tube. (16 Mar 1998) |
| cathode ray tube | An evacuated tube containing a beam of electrons which can be deflected to various parts of a fluorescent screen; used in the cathode ray oscilloscope. (05 Mar 2000) |
