  2. Diaphragm (structural system) - Wikipedia

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

    The diaphragm of a structure often does double duty as the floor system or roof system in a building, or the deck of a bridge, which simultaneously supports gravity loads. [1] Parts of a diaphragm include: [2] the collector (or membrane), used as a shear panel to carry in-plane shear

  3. 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.

  4. Diaphragm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphragm

    Diaphragm (birth control), a small rubber dome placed in the vagina to wall off the cervix, thus preventing sperm from entering; Diaphragm (mechanical device), a sheet of a semi-flexible material anchored at its periphery; Diaphragm (structural system), a structural engineering system used to resist lateral loads

  5. Diaphragm (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    In optics, a diaphragm is a thin opaque structure with an opening at its center. The role of the diaphragm is to stop the passage of light, except for the light passing through the aperture . Thus it is also called a stop (an aperture stop , if it limits the brightness of light reaching the focal plane, or a field stop or flare stop for other ...

  6. Raman microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raman_microscope

    The Raman microscope is a laser-based microscopic device used to perform Raman spectroscopy. [1] The term MOLE (molecular optics laser examiner) is used to refer to the Raman-based microprobe. [ 1 ] The technique used is named after C. V. Raman , who discovered the scattering properties in liquids.

  7. Thoracic diaphragm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoracic_diaphragm

    Structure of diaphragm shown using a 3D medical animation still shot. The thoracic diaphragm, or simply the diaphragm (/ ˈ d aɪ ə f r æ m /; [1] Ancient Greek: διάφραγμα, romanized: diáphragma, lit. 'partition'), is a sheet of internal skeletal muscle [2] in humans and other mammals that extends across the bottom of the thoracic ...

  8. Condenser (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    Condensers typically consist of a variable-aperture diaphragm and one or more lenses. Light from the illumination source of the microscope passes through the diaphragm and is focused by the lens(es) onto the specimen. After passing through the specimen the light diverges into an inverted cone to fill the front lens of the objective.

  9. Structural system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_system

    A classification for the structural system of a high-rise was introduced in 1969 by Fazlur Khan and was extended to incorporate interior and exterior structures. The primary lateral load-resisting system defines if a structural system is an interior or exterior one. [2] The following interior structures are possible: Hinged frame; Rigid frame
