| aberration, spherical | <optics> A lens defect whereby image forming rays of one colour, passing through the outer zones of a lens come to focus at a different distance from the lens than do those of more central rays. With a simple spherical (or plano-spherical) lens the outer rays always meet the axis closer to the lens than do more central rays and the lens is uncorrected or undercorrected. When the reverse is true the lens has been overcorrected. (05 Aug 1998) |

| spherical | Pertaining to, or shaped like, a sphere. (05 Mar 2000) |
| spherical aberration | <microscopy> A lens defect in which image forming rays passing through the outer zones of the lens focus at a distance from the principal plane, different from that of the rays passing through the centre of the lens. The aberration caused by (near-paraxial) monochromatic light rays or electron beams passing through different radii of a lens not coming to the same focus. (05 Aug 1998) |
| spherical amalgam | An alloy for dental amalgam composed of spherical particles instead of filings. (05 Mar 2000) |
| spherical form of occlusion | An arrangement of teeth which places their occlusal surfaces on the surface of an imaginary sphere (usually 8 inches in diameter) with its centre above the level of the teeth. See: Monson curve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| spherical lens | A lens in which all refracting surfaces are spherical. (05 Mar 2000) |
| spherical nucleus | Spinal nucleus of accessory nerve, a slender column of motor neurons extending longitudinally through the central part of the ventral horn of the upper five segments of the spinal cord, giving origin to the spinal part of the accessory nerve. Synonym: nucleus spinalis nervi accessorii, globosus nucleus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| spherical recess | A rounded depression on the inner wall of the vestibule of the labyrinth, lodging the sacculus. Synonym: recessus sphericus, fovea hemispherica, fovea spherica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| van Helmont's mirror | An obsolete term for central tendon of diaphragm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| microscope mirror | <microscopy> Usually plane on one side and concave on the other. The flat side is generally used unless the objective is of very low power and there is no condenser. The mirror should be so mounted that the concave side can be focused on the specimen. (05 Aug 1998) |
| mirror | 1. A looking-glass or a speculum; any glass or polished substance that forms images by the reflection of rays of light. "And in her hand she held a mirror bright, Wherein her face she often viewed fair." (Spenser) 2. That which gives a true representation, or in which a true image may be seen; hence, a pattern; an exemplar. "She is mirour of all courtesy." (Chaucer) "O goddess, heavenly bright, Mirror of grace and majesty divine." (Spenser) 3. <zoology> See Speculum. <zoology> Mirror carp, a domesticated variety of the carp, having only three or fur rows of very large scales side. Mirror plate. A flat glass mirror without a frame. Flat glass used for making mirrors. Mirror writing, a manner or form of backward writing, making manuscript resembling in slant and order of letters the reflection of ordinary writing in a mirror. The substitution of this manner of writing for the common manner is a symptom of some kinds of nervous disease. Origin: OE. Mirour, F. Miroir, OF. Also mireor, fr. (assumed) LL. Miratorium, fr. Mirare to look at, L. Mirari to wonder. See Marvel, and cf. Miracle, Mirador. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| mirror effect | <physics> A charged particle travelling into an increasing magnetic field will (if the field becomes strong enough) reverse direction and be reflected back. This is a direct result of the adiabatic invariance of the magnetic moment. Plasmas can be confined by devices which utilise this effect. The effect also occurs in some toroidal plasmas, since the toroidal magnetic field is stronger on the inboard side than on the outboard side, in this case it gives rise to so-called neoclassical effects. The strength of the mirror is determined by the mirror ratio. (09 Oct 1997) |
| mirror, first or front surface | <microscopy> An optical mirror on which the reflecting surface is applied to the front surface of the mirror instead of to the back, that is, to the first surface of incidence. (05 Aug 1998) |
| mirror image | A representation of an object or part thereof as its reflected image in a glass mirror. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mirror-image cell | A cell whose nuclei have identical features and are placed in the cytoplasm in similar fashion, a binucleate form of Reed-Sternberg cell often found in Hodgkin's disease; the twin nuclei are disposed in relation to an imaginary plane between them like a single nucleus together with its image in a mirror.
