| rubber dam clamp forceps | A forceps with pronged jaws designed to engage the jaws of a rubber dam clamp so that they may be separated to pass over the widest buccolingual contour of a tooth. Synonym: rubber dam clamp forceps. (05 Mar 2000) |
| phospholipid transfer protein | <protein> Cytoplasmic proteins that bind phospholipids and facilitate their transfer between cellular membranes. May also cause net transfer from the site of synthesis. (18 Nov 1997) |
| clamp forceps | A forceps with pronged jaws designed to engage the jaws of a rubber dam clamp so that they may be separated to pass over the widest buccolingual contour of a tooth. Synonym: rubber dam clamp forceps. (05 Mar 2000) |
| minor forceps | Frontal radiation of the corpus callosum; that part of the fibre radiation of the corpus callosum which bends forward toward the frontal pole of the cerebrum. Synonym: forceps minor, forceps anterior, frontal part of corpus callosum, pars frontalis corporis callosi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| clip forceps | A small forceps with spring catch to hold a bleeding vessel. (05 Mar 2000) |
| modulation transfer function | <microscopy> A mathematical function that expresses the ability of an optical or electronic device to transfer signals faithfully as a function of the spatial or temporal frequency of the signal. The modulation transfer function is the ratio of percentage modulation of a sinusoidal signal leaving to that entering the device over the range of frequencies of interest. The modulation transfer function is usually presented as a graph of modulation transfer function versus log (frequency). For a square wave signal, the function is known as the CTF. Acronym: MTF (26 Mar 1998) |
