  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. Microactuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microactuator

    A microactuator is a microscopic servomechanism that supplies and transmits a measured amount of energy for the operation of another mechanism or system. As a general actuator, following standards have to be met:

  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. Optical microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_microscope

    The optical microscope, also referred to as a light microscope, is a type of microscope that commonly uses visible light and a system of lenses to generate magnified images of small objects. Optical microscopes are the oldest design of microscope and were possibly invented in their present compound form in the 17th century.

  9. Diaphragm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphragm

    Diaphragm (optics), a stop in the light path of a lens, having an aperture that regulates the amount of light that passes; Diaphragm (acoustics), a thin, semi-rigid membrane that vibrates to produce or transmit sound waves; Diaphragm (birth control), a small rubber dome placed in the vagina to wall off the cervix, thus preventing sperm from ...
