Sentences with phrase «microns across»

The average animal cell is 10 microns across and the traditional explanation has been cells are the perfect size because if they were any bigger it would be difficult to get enough nutrients and energy to support them.

Some of the tumors were less than 300 microns in diameter (a single red blood cell, by comparison, is about 7 microns across), and the new MRI also detected ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), a precursor to invasive cancer.

It's two layers: a top layer of polymer, packed with glass beads just eight microns across — so they can absorb and then emit infrared radiation.

The resulting pattern of green irradiation spots confirmed that the beam inflicted damage in circles measuring less than 2 microns across.

Measuring just microns across, these tiny devices convert light into electrons, whose subsequent movement generates an electronic signal.

This microscope is powerful enough to detect objects as small as a single micron — one - thousandth of a millimeter — and plaques are about 10 microns across.

The team's analysis suggests Cassini only encountered a few particles as it crossed the gap — none larger than those in smoke (about 1 micron across).

Not exact matches

This suggests a process in which the glacier scrapes material from the rocks and grinds it into a fine paste, then spreads it across the rock surface to form a very thin layer only a few microns thick.

Using a computer model that fused air pollution and atmospheric chemistry data, they estimated what annual average levels of ozone (a key smog ingredient) and fine particulates smaller than 2.5 microns (PM2.5) were in 2010 within 100 - km - by -100-km grid squares across the world.

The largest of these particles are just microns (thousandths of a millimeter) across: All seven could fit in the period at the end of this sentence.

The processes that convert these tiny grains, each a few millionths of a metre (a micron) across, into aggregates a few centimetres in size, and the mechanism for making kilometre - sized «planetesimals» into planetary cores, are both well understood.

Other models receive minor updates across trim levels, with all getting a 5 - micron air filter.

DLR penetrates 10 microns into the ocean so to find out if it causes evaporation (and it's increasing) a study of night - time ocean evaporation would be required, has anyone come across such a study?

If you looked at an absorption graph, you'd see a «spike» for CO2 in the 15 micron range, and a «slope» cutting across the 15 + micron range, being the WV absorption.

You can check my 1988 - Naturwissenschaften - paper on dust transport for the particle size versus suspension lifetime stats, The bottom line is that as millimeter sized grains fall out in hours, and vertical convection systems seldom cohere for days, few particles larger than tens of microns make it across the pond.

So any photon of shorter wavelength than 1.121 microns, can be absorbed in bulk silicon, and release carriers, to be transported across a PN junction; to create a photocurrent flow.

You will also come across the same premium material that built the 2016 model, with the all - black color coming in as a dark coat of 14 microns thick, but the phone keeps the same look and feel as before.
