  2. Diaphragm (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphragm_(optics)

    The centre of the diaphragm's aperture coincides with the optical axis of the lens system. Most modern cameras use a type of adjustable diaphragm known as an iris diaphragm, and often referred to simply as an iris. See the articles on aperture and f-number for the photographic effect and system of quantification of varying the opening in the ...

  3. Köhler illumination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Köhler_illumination

    In a ray diagram of the illumination light path, this can be seen as the image-forming rays passing parallel through the sample. Köhler illumination requires several optical components to function: Collector lens and/or field lens; Field diaphragm; Condenser diaphragm; Condenser lens; Schematics of Köhler illumination.

  4. Valve actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_actuator

    Electric actuator (blue cylinder) on a valve in a power plant. A black handwheel is visible on the actuator, which allows manual positioning of the valve. The blue valve body is visible in-line with the pipe. The valve actuator opens or closes the butterfly disc of the valve based on electrical signals sent to the actuator.

  5. Bright-field microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bright-field_microscopy

    A bright-field microscope has many important parts including; the condenser, the objective lens, the ocular lens, the diaphragm, and the aperture. Some other pieces of the microscope that are commonly known are the arm, the head, the illuminator, the base, the stage, the adjusters, and the brightness adjuster.

  6. Air-operated valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-operated_valve

    Modulating control valves each with 4-20mA I to P converter linked to pneumatic a valve positioner controlling a diaphragm actuator. An air-operated valve, also known as a pneumatic valve, is a type of power-operated pipe valve that uses air pressure to perform a function similar to a solenoid.

  7. Diaphragm valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphragm_valve

    The most common diaphragm valves use pneumatic actuators; in this type of valve, air pressure is applied through a pilot valve into the actuator which in turn raises the diaphragm and opens the valve. This type of valve is one of the more common valves used in operations where valve speed is a necessity.

  8. Flow control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_valve

    Control valves are normally fitted with actuators and positioners. Pneumatically-actuated globe valves and diaphragm valves are widely used for control purposes in many industries, although quarter-turn types such as (modified) ball and butterfly valves are also used. Control valves can also work with hydraulic actuators (also known as ...

  9. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

    The measuring element functions to determine when the inlet flow is equal to the outlet flow. The diaphragm itself is often used as a measuring element; it can serve as a combined element. [citation needed] In the pictured single-stage regulator, a force balance is used on the diaphragm to control a poppet valve in order to regulate pressure.
