| positive focal length | <microscopy> Any lens which converges parallel rays to a focus at the back of the lens is a positive lens and has a positive focal length. The focal length is measured from the second principal point of the lens to the point on the lens axis where the rays from an infinitely distant point are brought to focus. See: negative focal length. (05 Aug 1998) |

| crown-heel length | Length of an outstretched embryo or foetus from skull vertex to heel. See: Streeter's developmental horizon(s). (05 Mar 2000) |
| crown-rump length | In utero measurement corresponding to the sitting height (crown to rump) of the foetus. Length is considered a more accurate criterion of the age of the foetus than is the weight. The average crown-rump length of the foetus at term is 36 cm. (12 Dec 1998) |
| height-length index | The relation of the height to the length of the skull: (height × 100)/length. Synonym: height-length index, length-height index, transversovertical index. (05 Mar 2000) |
| spinal length | A measurement from the distal surface of the embryo where the plane passes through the developing eye (this is the cranial limit of the spinal cord) down to the rump. (05 Mar 2000) |
| negative focal length | <physics> The focal length of a negative lens. Parallel rays impinging on a negative lens can be traced to a virtual focus which exists on the same side of the lens as the impinging rays. The distance from the second principal point of the lens to this second focal point is measured on the same side of the lens as is the object. See: negative lens, focal length. (05 Aug 1998) |
| equivalent focal length | <microscopy> The focal length of the simple lens that has the same power as the compound lens. The stated focal lengths of microscope objectives are the equivalent focal length since their front and back focal lengths are very different. (05 Aug 1998) |
| unit of length | Metric system and SI: meter, CGS system: centimeter, variable in the English system: inch for short distances, foot for moderate distances and for elevation, mile for long distances. (05 Mar 2000) |
| focal length | <microscopy> The distance from the optical centre of the lens to the focal point<microscopy> The focal length of an objective and its working distance are directly proportional. (05 Aug 1998) |
| leg length inequality | A condition in which one of a pair of legs fails to grow as long as the other. (12 Dec 1998) |
| length | 1. The longest, or longer, dimension of any object, in distinction from breadth or width; extent of anything from end to end; the longest line which can be drawn through a body, parallel to its sides; as, the length of a church, or of a ship; the length of a rope or line. 2. A portion of space or of time considered as measured by its length; often in the plural. "Large lengths of seas and shores." (Shak) "The future but a length behind the past." (Dryden) 3. The quality or state of being long, in space or time; extent; duration; as, some sea birds are remarkable for the length of their wings; he was tired by the length of the sermon, and the length of his walk. 4. A single piece or subdivision of a series, or of a number of long pieces which may be connected together; as, a length of pipe; a length of fence. 5. Detail or amplification; unfolding; continuance as, to pursue a subject to a great length. "May Heaven, great monarch, still augment your bliss. With length of days and every day like this." (Dryden) 6. Distance. "He had marched to the length of Exeter." (Clarendon) at length. At or in the full extent; without abbreviation; as, let the name be inserted at length. At the end or conclusion; after a long period. See Syn. Of At last, under Last. At arm's length. See Arm. Origin: OE. Lengthe, AS. Leng, fr. Land, long, long; akin to D. Lengte, Dan. Laengde, Sw. Langd, Icel. Lengd. See Long. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| length-breadth index | The ratio of the maximal breadth to the maximal length of the head, obtained by the formula: (breadth × 100)/length. Synonym: length-breadth index. (05 Mar 2000) |
| length-height index | The relation of the height to the length of the skull: (height × 100)/length. Synonym: height-length index, length-height index, transversovertical index. (05 Mar 2000) |
| length of stay |
the period of hospitalization as measured in days billed; average length of stay (ALOS) is determined by discharge days divided by discharges. living will document generated by a person for the purpose of providing guidance about the medical care to be provided if the person is unable to articulate those decisions (see Advance Directive). ...
