  2. Test probe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_probe

    [12] [failed verification] These probes are also called resistive divider probes, since a 50 ohm transmission line presents a purely resistive load. The Z 0 name refers to the characteristic impedance of the oscilloscope and cable. The matched impedances provide better high-frequency performance than an unmatched passive probe can achieve, but ...

  3. Probe tip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probe_Tip

    A probe tip is an instrument used in scanning probe microscopes (SPMs) to scan the surface of a sample and make nano-scale images of surfaces and structures. The probe tip is mounted on the end of a cantilever and can be as sharp as a single atom .

  4. Oscilloscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscilloscope

    If the signal source has its own coaxial connector, then a simple coaxial cable is used; otherwise, a specialized cable called a "scope probe", supplied with the oscilloscope, is used. In general, for routine use, an open wire test lead for connecting to the point being observed is not satisfactory, and a probe is generally necessary.

  5. Multimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimeter

    A multimeter can use many different test probes to connect to the circuit or device under test. Crocodile clips, retractable hook clips, and pointed probes are the three most common types. Tweezer probes are used for closely spaced test points, as for instance surface-mount devices. The connectors are attached to flexible, well insulated leads ...

  6. History of the oscilloscope - Wikipedia

    A time base, unsynchronized, was provided by a spinning mirror polygon, and a collimated beam of light from an arc lamp projected the waveform onto the lab wall or a screen. [ 12 ] Even earlier, audio applied to a diaphragm on the gas feed to a flame made the flame height vary, and a spinning mirror polygon gave an early glimpse of waveforms.

  7. Periodontal probe - Wikipedia

    Michigan O probe with Williams markings (left) and Naber's probe with shades alternating every 3 mm (right). Proper use of the periodontal probe is necessary to maintain accuracy. The tip of the instrument is placed with light pressure of 10-20 grams [ 1 ] into the gingival sulcus , which is an area of potential space between a tooth and the ...

  8. Thiele tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiele_tube

    Drawing of a Thiele tube with red arrows showing convection current A photograph of a Thiele tube. The oil level is a little low now to compensate for expansion when heating commences. The Thiele tube, named after the German chemist Johannes Thiele, is a laboratory glassware designed to contain and heat an oil bath.

  9. Slotted line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slotted_line

    Figure 1. Waveguide slotted line. Slotted lines are used for microwave measurements and consist of a movable probe inserted into a slot in a transmission line.They are used in conjunction with a microwave power source and usually, in keeping with their low-cost application, a low cost Schottky diode detector and VSWR meter rather than an expensive microwave power meter.
