111X-ray crystallography — can locate every atom in a zeolite, an aluminosilicate with many important applications, such as water purification. X ray crystallography is a method of determining the arrangement of atoms within a crystal, in which a beam of X rays strikes a… …
112LIGO — For the Latvian holiday Ligo, see Jāņi.LIGO stands for Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory. Cofounded in 1992 by Kip Thorne and Ronald Drever of Caltech and Rainer Weiss of MIT, LIGO is a joint project between scientists at MIT… …
113D-37C — The D 37C is the computer component of the all inertial NS 17 Missile Guidance Set (MGS) for accurately navigating to its target thousands of miles away. The NS 17 MGS was used in the Minuteman II (LGM 30F) ICBM. The MGS, originally designed and… …
114Environmental scanning electron microscope — Wool fibers imaged in an ESEM by the use of two symmetrical plastic scintillating backscattered electron detectors …
115Coronagraph — A coronagraph is a telescopic attachment designed to block out the direct light from a star so that nearby objects – which otherwise would be hidden in the star s bright glare – can be resolved. Most coronagraphs are intended to view the corona… …
116Total organic carbon — (TOC) is the amount of carbon bound in an organic compound and is often used as a non specific indicator of water quality or cleanliness of pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment. A typical analysis for TOC measures both the total carbon present… …
117microscope — /muy kreuh skohp /, n. 1. an optical instrument having a magnifying lens or a combination of lenses for inspecting objects too small to be seen or too small to be seen distinctly and in detail by the unaided eye. 2. (cap.) Astron. the… …
118Multiangle light scattering — (MALS) is a technique for determining, independently, the absolute molar mass and the average size of particles in solution, by detecting how they scatter light. Collimated light from a laser source is most often used, in which case the technique …
119Electrospray ionization — Electrospray (nanoSpray) ionization source Electrospray ionization (ESI) is a technique used in mass spectrometry to produce ions. It is especially useful in producing ions from macromolecules because it overcomes the propensity of these… …
120Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry — (GC MS) is a method that combines the features of gas liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry to identify different substances within a test sample. Applications of GC MS include drug detection, fire investigation, environmental analysis,… …
