SpectroscopeLe spectroscope est un appareil destiné à observer les spectres lumineux. Il fut inventé par Joseph von Fraunhofer, illustre opticien allemand, en 1815. vignette|Animation du fonctionnement d'un spectroscope. vignette|Principe du spectroscope Le principe de fonctionnement est le suivant : on éclaire à l’aide de la source à étudier une fente étroite ; une première lentille collimatrice rend parallèle le faisceau lumineux tombant sur la face d’entrée du prisme, ou du réseau ; après dispersion de la lumière une seconde lentille donne sur un écran une suite d’images juxtaposées de la fente, chacune correspond à une longueur d’onde.
Non-uniform discrete Fourier transformIn applied mathematics, the nonuniform discrete Fourier transform (NUDFT or NDFT) of a signal is a type of Fourier transform, related to a discrete Fourier transform or discrete-time Fourier transform, but in which the input signal is not sampled at equally spaced points or frequencies (or both). It is a generalization of the shifted DFT. It has important applications in signal processing, magnetic resonance imaging, and the numerical solution of partial differential equations.
Selected reaction monitoringSelected reaction monitoring (SRM), also called Multiple reaction monitoring, (MRM), is a method used in tandem mass spectrometry in which an ion of a particular mass is selected in the first stage of a tandem mass spectrometer and an ion product of a fragmentation reaction of the precursor ions is selected in the second mass spectrometer stage for detection. A general case of SRM can be represented by where the precursor ion ABCD+ is selected by the first stage of mass spectrometry (MS1), dissociates into molecule AB and product ion CD+, and the latter is selected by the second stage of mass spectrometry (MS2) and detected.
