dielectric detector
1Microchannel plate detector — from the Daresbury Recoil Separator A micro channel plate (MCP) is a planar component used for detection of particles (electrons or ions) and impinging radiation (ultraviolet radiation and X rays). It is closely related to an electron multiplier …
2Solid state nuclear track detector — A solid state nuclear track detector or SSNTD (also known as an etched track detector or a dielectric track detector, DTD) is a sample of a solid material (photographic emulsion, crystal, glass or plastic) exposed to nuclear radiation (neutrons… …
3Proximity detector — Proximity detectors are devices that use mutual capacitance between itself and a nearby human body in order to detect a person s presence. OverviewThe human body is a great capacitor (body capacitance), and the proximity detector s capacitance… …

5Ellipsometry — is a versatile and powerful optical technique for the investigation of the dielectric properties (complex refractive index or dielectric function) of thin films. It has applications in many different fields, from semiconductor physics to… …
6Measuring instrument — Captain Nemo and Professor Aronnax contemplating measuring instruments in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea …
7Optical tweezers — (originally called single beam gradient force trap ) are scientific instruments that use a highly focused laser beam to provide an attractive or repulsive force (typically on the order of piconewtons), depending on the refractive index mismatch… …
8radiation measurement — ▪ technology Introduction technique for detecting the intensity and characteristics of ionizing radiation, such as alpha, beta, and gamma rays or neutrons, for the purpose of measurement. The term ionizing radiation refers to those… …
9D-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… …
10Metal-mesh optical filters — are optical filters made from stacks of metal meshes and dielectric. They are used as part of an optical path to filter the incoming light to allow frequencies of interest to pass while reflecting other frequencies of light. Metal mesh filters… …
