    for use in the ear canal; smaller than Tilly's and has a better "biting" action •Hunter Tod's forceps: for use in the ear canal •Fagge's aural forceps: for use in the ear canal •Waugh's long dissecting forceps: used for dissection like on the tonsils, also to catch bleeding points and putting in swabs •Wilson's tonsil artery forceps

  3. X-ray diffraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_diffraction

    This is the method used in the original discovery of X-ray diffraction. Laue scattering provides much structural information with only a short exposure to the X-ray beam, and is therefore used in structural studies of very rapid events (time resolved crystallography). However, it is not as well-suited as monochromatic scattering for determining ...

  4. Nasolacrimal duct - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasolacrimal_duct

    Excess tears flow through the nasolacrimal duct which drains into the inferior nasal meatus. This is the reason the nose starts to run when a person is crying or has watery eyes from an allergy, and why one can sometimes taste eye drops. This is for the same reason when applying some eye drops it is often advised to close the nasolacrimal duct ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_cannula

    The nasal cannula (NC) is a device used to deliver supplemental oxygen or increased airflow to a patient or person in need of respiratory help. This device consists of a lightweight tube which on one end splits into two prongs which are placed in the nostrils curving toward the sinuses behind the nose, and from which a mixture of air and oxygen flows.

  7. X-ray microscope - Wikipedia

    Then, magnified tomographic images of the emulsions, which correspond to the x-ray opacity maps of the specimen, are recorded using a light microscope or an electron microscope. A unique advantage that X-ray contact imaging offered over electron microscopy was the ability to image wet biological materials.

  8. X-ray diffraction computed tomography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_diffraction_computed...

    X-ray diffraction computed tomography is an experimental technique that combines X-ray diffraction with the computed tomography data acquisition approach. X-ray diffraction (XRD) computed tomography (CT) was first introduced in 1987 by Harding et al. [1] using a laboratory diffractometer and a monochromatic X-ray pencil beam.

  9. X-ray tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_tube

    With time, the tube becomes unstable even at lower voltages and must be replaced. At this point, the tube assembly (also called the "tube head") is removed from the X-ray system, and replaced with a new tube assembly. The old tube assembly is shipped to a company that reloads it with a new X-ray tube. [citation needed]
