| International Labour Organization Classification | ILO 1980 International Classification of Radiographs of the Pneumoconioses; a system for qualitative and semiquantitative description of the chest radiographic findings caused by pneumoconiosis, designed for epidemiologic studies; supersedes classifications of 1950, 1958, 1968, and 1971. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Tessier classification | An anatomical classification of facial, craniofacial, and laterofacial clefts that utilises the orbit as the primary structure for reference. Fifteen locations for clefts are differentiated. (05 Mar 2000) |
| E classification | <biochemistry> Classification of enzymes based on the recommendations of the Committee on Enzyme Nomenclature of the International Union of Biochemistry. The first number indicates the broad type of enzyme (1 = oxidoreductase, 2 = transferase, 3 = hydrolase, 4 = lyase, 5 = isomerase, 6 = ligase (synthetase)). The second and third numbers indicate subsidiary groupings and the last number, which is unique, is assigned arbitrarily in numerical order by the Committee. (08 Mar 2000) |
| TNM classification | TNM classification provides a system for staging the occurrence of cancer., T refers to the primary tumour and is categorised as being 1-4 and a-d depending upon site, size and spread, N refers to the lymph nodes and they are categorised as being X,0, 1, 2, or 3 depending upon if any, some or all are involved metastasis, and M to the presence or absence of distant metasteses. Refer Staging. (16 Dec 1997) |
| Jansky's classification | The classification of human blood groups now designated O, A, B, and AB. (05 Mar 2000) |
| FAB classification | <haematology> The classification of acute myeloid leukaemia on the basis of bone marrow and peripheral blood features. M0: Acute myeloid leukaemia with minimal evidence of myeloid differentiation. M1: Acute myeloblastic leukaemia. M2: Acute myeloblastic leukaemia with differentiation. M3: Acute promyelocytic leukaemia. M4: Acute myelomonocytic leukaemia. M5: Acute monocytic leukaemia. M6: Acute erythroleukaemia. M7: Acute megakaryocytic leukaemia. Acronym: FAB (07 Apr 1998) |

| Kiel classification | Classification of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma into low-grade malignancy (lymphocytic, lymphoplasmacytoid, centrocytic, and centroblastic-centrocytic types) and high-grade malignancy (centroblastic, lymphoblastic of Burkitt's or convoluted cell, and immunoblastic types). Synonym: Lennert classification. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Lancefield classification | A serologic classification dividing haemolytic streptococci into groups (A to O) which bear a definite relationship to their sources, based upon precipitation tests depending upon group-specific substances that are carbohydrate in nature; e.g., Group A contains strains pathogenic for man; B, strains from mastitis in cows and from normal milk, including a few strains from the human throat and vagina; C, strains from various lower animals, including a number from cattle; D, strains from cheese; E, strains from certified milk; F, strains mainly from the human throat, associated with tonsillitis; G, strains from man, a few from monkeys and dogs; and H, K, and O, nonpathogenic strains from normal human respiratory tracts.

| French-American-British classification | <haematology> The classification of acute myeloid leukaemia on the basis of bone marrow and peripheral blood features.

M3: Acute promyelocytic leukaemia. M4: Acute myelomonocytic leukaemia. M5: Acute monocytic leukaemia. M6: Acute erythroleukaemia. M7: Acute megakaryocytic leukaemia. Acronym: FAB (07 Apr 1998) |
| Lennert classification | Classification of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma into low-grade malignancy (lymphocytic, lymphoplasmacytoid, centrocytic, and centroblastic-centrocytic types) and high-grade malignancy (centroblastic, lymphoblastic of Burkitt's or convoluted cell, and immunoblastic types).

| Abbe test plate | <equipment> A long, wedge-shaped coverslip about 0.20 mm thick at one end and 0.10 to 0.12 mm at the other end coated chemically with a silver film on which are ruled horizontal lines. at each variation in thickness of 0.01 mm there are vertical lines. By means of oblique illumination and by focusing on different portions of the plate, it is possible to determine the optimum coverslip thickness for any objective and also, for microscopes with drawtubes, the tube length for best objective performance. The approximate freedom from spherical and chromatic aberrations can also be estimated. Small isolated bits of silver near the edges of the lines form good objects for the star test (05 Aug 1998) |
