off-axis scanning
1Conical scanning — is a system used in early radar units to improve their accuracy, as well as making it easier to steer the antenna properly to point at a target. Conical scanning is similar in concept to the earlier lobe switching concept used on some of the… …
2Environmental scanning electron microscope — Wool fibers imaged in an ESEM by the use of two symmetrical plastic scintillating backscattered electron detectors …
3Monopulse radar — is an adaptation of conical scanning radar which sends additional information in the radar signal in order to avoid problems caused by rapid changes in signal strength. The system also makes jamming more difficult. Most radars designed since the… …

6Digital scan back — A scanning back is a type of digital camera back. Digital imaging devices typically use a matrix of light sensitive photosensors, such as CCD or CMOS technologies. These sensors can be arranged in different ways, like a Bayer filter, where each… …
7Carbon nanotube — Not to be confused with Carbon fiber. Part of a series of articles on Nanomaterials Fullerenes …
8STED microscopy — Stimulated Emission Depletion microscopy, or STED microscopy, is a technique that uses the non linear de excitation of fluorescent dyes to overcome the resolution limit imposed by diffraction with standard confocal laser scanning microscopes and… …
9Spacecraft in the Honorverse — This article is about the different types of spacecraft which appear in the Honorverse, a series of military science fiction novels written by American author David Weber, which feature Honor Harrington as its main character. Introduction The… …
10Digital holography — is the technology of acquiring and processing holographic measurement data, typically via a CCD camera or a similar device. In particular, this includes the numerical reconstruction of object data from the recorded measurement data, in… …
