| slow ray | <microscopy> The slower of the two rays created by a crystal or fibre and the one that travels the path of higher refractive index. (05 Aug 1998) |

| spectrometry, X-ray emission | Identification and measurement of concentration of elements based on the fact that X-rays emitted by an excited element have a wavelength characteristic of that element and an intensity related to its concentration. It includes fluorescence, or secondary-emission, X-ray spectrometry, in which the specimen is irradiated by X-rays. Primary-emission x-ray spectrometry, in which the specimen is bombarded by electrons, is a specific type of X-ray emission spectrometry known as electron probe microanalysis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| densitometry, X-ray | Measurement of the degree of darkening of X-ray film by means of a photocell which measures light transmission through the film. (12 Dec 1998) |
| incident ray | The ray that strikes the surface before reflection. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infrared ray | See: infrared. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fast ray | <microscopy> The fast ray or fast component for a crystal or fibre corresponds to the lower refractive index. (05 Aug 1998) |
| lateral X-ray | An X-ray picture taken from the side. (12 Dec 1998) |
| actinic dermatitis | Dermatitis caused or elicited by exposure to sunlight; may be phototoxic or photoallergic, and can result from topical application, ingestion, inhalation, or injection of mediating phototoxic or photoallergic material. See: photosensitization. Synonym: actinic dermatitis, actinodermatitis. Origin: photo-+ G. Derma, skin, + -itis, inflammation (05 Mar 2000) |
| allergic contact dermatitis | A delayed type IV allergic reaction of the skin with varying degrees of erythema, oedema, and vesiculation resulting from cutaneous contact with a specific allergen. Synonym: contact allergy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ancylostoma dermatitis | Cutaneous larva migrans caused by larvae of hookworms. Synonym: ancylostoma dermatitis, ancylostomiasis cutis, coolie itch, dew itch, ground itch, swamp itch, swimmer's itch, toe itch, water itch, water sore. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atopic dermatitis | <dermatology> A type of immune-mediated (allergic) inflammatory skin disorder that results in a itchy rash. See: atopic eczema. (27 Sep 1997) |
| berloque dermatitis | Berlock dermatitis, a type of photosensitization resulting in deep brown pigmentation on exposure to sunlight after application of bergamot oil and other essential oils in perfume. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blastomycetic dermatitis | A cutaneous form of blastomycosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bubble gum dermatitis | Allergic contact dermatitis developing about the lips in children who chew bubble gum; caused by plastics in the gum substance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| papular dermatitis of pregnancy | Intensely pruritic papular eruption of torso and extremities occurring throughout pregnancy, with no systemic toxicity; may be similar to pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy. (05 Mar 2000) |
