What's the difference between dynameter and magnification?
Dynameter
Definition:
(n.) A dynamometer.
(n.) An instrument for determining the magnifying power of telescopes, consisting usually of a doubleimage micrometer applied to the eye end of a telescope for measuring accurately the diameter of the image of the object glass there formed; which measurement, compared with the actual diameter of the glass, gives the magnifying power.
Example Sentences:
(1) Nevertheless, when these patients were followed up at an average of 3.4 years from onset, not one was completely normal to objective tests with the Cybex II dynameter, an indication of the adverse prognosis with current methods of treatment.
Magnification
Definition:
(n.) The act of magnifying; enlargement; exaggeration.
Example Sentences:
(1) Biological magnification of insecticides and PCB's occurred in both lakes.
(2) We studied bobbed loci at different magnification steps, analysing their behaviour through the reversion process and the way they carry out a second round of magnification.
(3) The hands of 29 chronic dialysis patients were evaluated every 3 months for subperiosteal, intracortical, and endosteal bone resorption using fine-detail radiography and optical magnification.
(4) When a meridional-size lens is used to provide magnification in the horizonal meridan for one eye the resulting stereopsis distortion is readily accounted for in the terms of the binocular disparity caused by changed angular relations.
(5) Correcting for radiographic magnification, the ERCP measurement was more than twice that obtained by ultrasonography.
(6) While the present study demonstrates the usefulness of computer-aided microscopy for analysis of low-magnification images, the same descriptors (area and IOD) should be useful in quantifying data from a variety of objects (cells, nuclei, etc.)
(7) After 48 hours in culture, all specimens were examined at 6x magnification for defects in the facial arches, head fold, and neural tube fusion.
(8) Because these features are best appreciated at increased arteriographic magnification, further high resolution studies will be necessary to better understand their importance.
(9) Material, obtained by a rigorous three-stage sampling procedure from five normal rat livers, is systematically subjected to this analysis at four levels of magnification.
(10) The advantages of this technique are: the abdominal aorta of rats proximally to renal arteries is characterized by a well developed adventitia and its caliber is double of that of infrarenal aorta; b) the left renal vein is more easily access of caval vein with similar caliber; c) the use of left renal vein and the widening of pulmonary artery permits a wide anastomosis; d) the so obtained heart position is better than the transversal one; e) the calibers of all anastomosis is so wide to permit the realization of this technique without extreme optical magnification.
(11) Ten-year-old condensation silicone elastomer impressions and epoxy replicas made in 1979 were compared in a scanning electron microscope at 5 kV with different magnifications up to x200.

(18) (N is the inverse normalized "cortical magnification factor").
(19) The microscope had a higher power (eight or ten times) magnification.
(20) The specimens were categorized into 6 groups based on numbers of leukocytes (PMN's) and squamous epithelial cells (SEC's) observed at low magnification (X 100).
