| lens, magnetic | <microscopy> Circular electromagnets capable of projecting a precise circular magnetic field in a specified region. The field acts like an optical lens, having the same attributes (focal length angle of divergence etc.) and errors (spherical aberration, chromatic aberration, astigmatism etc.). They are used to focus and steer electrons in an Electron Microscope. (05 Aug 1998) |
|---|---|
| amphoric resonance | A percussion sound, like that produced by striking a large empty bottle, obtained by percussing over a pulmonary cavity. Synonym: cavernous resonance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bandbox resonance | A peculiar, partly tympanitic, partly vesicular sound, obtained on percussion in cases of pulmonary emphysema. Synonym: bandbox resonance, wooden resonance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bellmetal resonance | In cases of a large pulmonary cavity or of pneumothorax, a clear metallic sound obtained by striking a coin, held against the chest, by another coin, or by flicking the chest wall with one's fingernail; the sound is heard on auscultating the chest wall on the same side anteroposteriorly. Synonym: anvil sound, bell sound, coin test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vesicular resonance | The sound obtained on percussing over the normal lungs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vesiculotympanitic resonance | A peculiar, partly tympanitic, partly vesicular sound, obtained on percussion in cases of pulmonary emphysema. Synonym: bandbox resonance, wooden resonance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavernous resonance | A percussion sound, like that produced by striking a large empty bottle, obtained by percussing over a pulmonary cavity. Synonym: cavernous resonance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vocal resonance | The voice sounds as heard on auscultation of the chest. (05 Mar 2000) |
| resonance | 1. The act of resounding; the quality or state of being resonant. 2. <physics> A prolongation or increase of any sound, eithar by reflection, as in a cavern or apartment the walls of which are not distant enough to return a distinct echo, or by the production of vibrations in other bodies, as a sounding-board, or the bodies of musical instruments. 3. <chest medicine, physiology> Pulmonary resonance, the sound transmitted to the ear when auscultation is made while the patient is speaking. Origin: Cf. F. Resonance, L. Resonantia an echo. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| resonance energy transfer | <technique> Transfer of energy from one fluorochrome to another. The emission wavelength of the fluorochrome excited by the incident light must approximately match the excitation wavelength of the second fluorochrome. If light at the second emission wavelength is detected, it implies that the two fluorochromes were physically within a few nanometres. Used as a technique to probe protein or cell interactions. (25 Jun 1999) |
| resonance theory of hearing | That the basilar membrane of the cochlea acts as a resonating structure, recording low tones from its apical turns and high tones from its basal turns. Synonym: Helmholtz theory of hearing. (05 Mar 2000) |
| wooden resonance | A peculiar, partly tympanitic, partly vesicular sound, obtained on percussion in cases of pulmonary emphysema. Synonym: bandbox resonance, wooden resonance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cracked-pot resonance | A peculiar sound, resembling that heard on striking a cracked pot, elicited on percussing over a pulmonary cavity that commmunicates with a bronchial tube, when the patient's mouth is open. Synonym: cracked-pot sound. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cyclotron resonance | <radiobiology> Charged particles in a magnetic field resonate with (and absorb energy from) an electric field (perpendicular to the magnetic field) which oscillates at the particles' cyclotron frequency, or at a harmonic (multiple) of that frequency. (09 Oct 1997) |
| hybrid resonance | <radiobiology> A resonance in a magnetised plasma which involves aspects of both bunching of lighter species parallel to the magnetic field, characterised by the plasma frequency, and perpendicular particle motions (heavier species) characterised by the cyclotron frequency.
