  2. Optical instrument - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_instrument

    An illustration of some of the optical devices available for laboratory work in England in 1858. An optical instrument is a device that processes light waves (or photons), either to enhance an image for viewing or to analyze and determine their characteristic properties.

  3. Thermal energy storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_energy_storage

    The low cost ($200/ton) and high cycle rate (2,000×) of synthetic zeolites such as Linde 13X with water adsorbate has garnered much academic and commercial interest recently for use for thermal energy storage (TES), specifically of low-grade solar and waste heat. Several pilot projects have been funded in the EU from 2000 to the present (2020).

  4. Specific rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_rotation

    The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics defines specific rotation as: For an optically active substance, defined by [α] θ λ = α/γl, where α is the angle through which plane polarized light is rotated by a solution of mass concentration γ and path length l.

  7. Beam splitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_splitter

    Phase shift through a beam splitter with a dielectric coating. Beam splitters are sometimes used to recombine beams of light, as in a Mach–Zehnder interferometer.In this case there are two incoming beams, and potentially two outgoing beams.

  8. Optically stimulated luminescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optically_stimulated...

    In physics, optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) is a method for measuring doses from ionizing radiation.It is used in at least two applications: Luminescence dating of ancient materials: mainly geological sediments and sometimes fired pottery, bricks etc., although in the latter case thermoluminescence dating is used more often

  9. Test tube rack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_tube_rack

    Test Tube Rack. Test tube racks are laboratory equipment used to hold upright multiple test tubes at the same time. They are most commonly used when various different solutions are needed to work with simultaneously, for safety reasons, for safe storage of test tubes, and to ease the transport of multiple tubes.
