  2. Polarimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarimeter

    A polarimeter [1] is a scientific instrument used to measure optical rotation: the angle of rotation caused by passing linearly polarized light through an optically active substance. [ 2 ] Some chemical substances are optically active, and linearly polarized (uni-directional) light will rotate either to the left (counter-clockwise) or right ...

  3. Planimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planimeter

    The images show the principles of a linear and a polar planimeter. The pointer M at one end of the planimeter follows the contour C of the surface S to be measured. For the linear planimeter the movement of the "elbow" E is restricted to the y-axis. For the polar planimeter the "elbow" is connected to an arm with its other endpoint O at a fixed ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_Grid_Reference_System

    The Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) [1] is the geocoordinate standard used by NATO militaries for locating points on Earth. The MGRS is derived from the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid system and the Universal Polar Stereographic (UPS) grid system, but uses a different labeling convention.

  7. Sessile drop technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sessile_drop_technique

    In materials science, the sessile drop technique is a method used for the characterization of solid surface energies, and in some cases, aspects of liquid surface energies. [1] The main premise of the method is that by placing a droplet of liquid with a known surface energy and contact angle , the surface energy of the solid substrate can be ...
