X-ray image intensifierAn X-ray image intensifier (XRII) is an that converts X-rays into visible light at higher intensity than the more traditional fluorescent screens can. Such intensifiers are used in X-ray imaging systems (such as fluoroscopes) to allow low-intensity X-rays to be converted to a conveniently bright visible light output. The device contains a low absorbency/scatter input window, typically aluminum, input fluorescent screen, photocathode, electron optics, output fluorescent screen and output window.
Klystronthumb|120px|Klystron Le klystron est un tube à vide qui permet de réaliser des amplifications de moyenne et forte puissance à bande étroite en hyperfréquences. Leur invention est généralement attribuée aux frères Russel et Sigurd Varian, en 1937 à l'université Stanford. En 1939, une forme plus maniable de klystron est développée en Angleterre par Robert Stutton et est appelée le « reflex klystron ». La puissance des klystrons peut atteindre plus de .
Poste de triangulationA triangulation station, also known as a trigonometrical point, and sometimes informally as a trig, is a fixed surveying station, used in geodetic surveying and other surveying projects in its vicinity. The nomenclature varies regionally: they are generally known as trigonometrical stations or triangulation stations in North America, trig points in the United Kingdom, trig pillars in Ireland, trig stations or trig points in Australia and New Zealand, and trig beacons in South Africa.
