  2. Scanning acoustic microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_acoustic_microscope

    Often the values for each point are assembled into an image of the object. The contrast seen in the image is based either on the object's geometry or material composition. The resolution of the image is limited either by the physical scanning resolution or the width of the sound beam (which in turn is determined by the frequency of the sound).

  3. Blood smear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_smear

    Variations of red blood cell shape on blood film, overall termed poikilocytosis. Blood smear examination is usually performed in conjunction with a complete blood count in order to investigate abnormal results or confirm results that the automated analyzer has flagged as unreliable. [3]

  4. Noise pollution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_pollution

    Underwater noise pollution due to human activities is also prevalent in the sea, and given that sound travels faster through water than through air, is a major source of disruption of marine ecosystems and does significant harm to sea life, including marine mammals, fish and invertebrates.

  5. Quartz crystal microbalance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_crystal_microbalance

    For thin films in liquids, there is an approximate analytical result, relating the elastic compliance of the film, J F ’ to the ratio of Δ(w/2); and Δf. The shear compliance is the inverse of the shear modulus, G. In the thin-film limit, the ratio of Δ(w/2) and –Δf is independent of film thickness. It is an intrinsic property of the film.

  6. Sonification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonification

    Video of air pollution data from Beijing being conveyed as a piece of music. Sonification is the use of non-speech audio to convey information or perceptualize data. [1] Auditory perception has advantages in temporal, spatial, amplitude, and frequency resolution that open possibilities as an alternative or complement to visualization techniques.

  7. Therapeutic ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therapeutic_ultrasound

    Ultrasound is applied using a transducer or applicator that is in direct contact with the patient's skin. Gel is used on all surfaces of the head to reduce friction and assist transmission of the ultrasonic waves. Therapeutic ultrasound in physical therapy is alternating compression and rarefaction of sound waves with a frequency of 0.7 to 3.3 ...

  8. Ambient noise level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambient_noise_level

    Integrating Sound Level Meter. In atmospheric sounding and noise pollution, ambient noise level (sometimes called background noise level, reference sound level, or room noise level) is the background sound pressure level at a given location, normally specified as a reference level to study a new intrusive sound source. [1]

  9. Noise measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_measurement

    Noise measurement can also be part of a test procedure using white noise, or some other specialized form of test signal.In audio systems and broadcasting, specific methods are used to obtain subjectively valid results in order that different devices and signal paths may be compared regardless of the inconsistent spectral distribution and temporal properties of the noise that they generate.
