| beam tree | <botany> A tree (Pyrus aria) related to the apple. Origin: AS. Beam a tree. See: Beam. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| beam-wall reaction | <radiobiology> Fusion reaction which occurs from the collision of a fast beam ion with an ion embedded in or adsorbed onto the reactor wall. (09 Oct 1997) |
| cantilever beam | In dentistry, a beam that is supported by only one fixed support at only one of its ends. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radium beam therapy | Therapeutic use of radium rays, the source of which is a quantity of radium at a distance from the patient. Synonym: radium beam therapy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| restrained beam | In dentistry, a beam that has two or more supports, at least one of which permits some freedom of rotation to the point of support but not as much as if the support were a free support. (05 Mar 2000) |
| continuous beam | In dentistry, a beam that continues over three or more supports, those supports not at the beam ends being equally free supports. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Convergent Beam Electron Diffraction | <microscopy> An electron probe is tightly focused on a transmission electron microscopy specimen and the resulting pattern of diffracted electrons is observed. The patterns contains information on the crystal symmetry and atomic and electronic structure of the sample. Regions as small as 0.2 nm may be examined. Acronym: CBED (05 Aug 1998) |
| horizontal beam film | A radiograph made with the central axis of the X-ray beam parallel to the floor, able to show an air-fluid level. (05 Mar 2000) |
| simple beam | In dentistry, a straight beam that has only two supports, one at either end. (05 Mar 2000) |
| electron beam | <microscopy> A stream of electrons in an electron optical system. (05 Aug 1998) |
