  2. Blood smear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_smear

    A blood smear is made by placing a drop of blood on one end of a slide, and using a spreader slide to disperse the blood over the slide's length. The aim is to get a region, called a monolayer, where the cells are spaced far enough apart to be counted and differentiated.

  3. Bruit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruit

    Bruit, also called vascular murmur, [3] is the abnormal sound generated by turbulent flow of blood in an artery due to either an area of partial obstruction or a localized high rate of blood flow through an unobstructed artery.

  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. Optical sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_sound

    As digital sound became the standard of sound reproduction in the 21st century, 35 and 70-mm films have increasingly included a digital version of the soundtrack on the edges of the film strip. Most films continue to be processed with both digital and analog soundtracks so they may be read by any projection systems in a movie theater.

  6. 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).

  7. Spectrogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrogram

    Spectrograms of light may be created directly using an optical spectrometer over time.. Spectrograms may be created from a time-domain signal in one of two ways: approximated as a filterbank that results from a series of band-pass filters (this was the only way before the advent of modern digital signal processing), or calculated from the time signal using the Fourier transform.

  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. Background noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background_noise

    Background noise or ambient noise is any sound other than the sound being monitored (primary sound). Background noise is a form of noise pollution or interference . Background noise is an important concept in setting noise levels.
