(v. i.) To practice etching; to make etchings.
Example Sentences:
(1) After permeabilization, with attendant partial extraction, the preparation can be fixed, then viewed by either deep-etch replication, or by high-resolution scanning electron microscopy, with structure of interest revealed in deep view.

(3) A thorough dental prophylaxis before acid-etching of enamel is often recommended.
(4) The results of the rapid-freeze and deep-etch procedure showed that the ridges observed by the surface replica method consisted of linear arrangements of elliptical particles on the ES face of the plasma membrane.
(5) All the summer deals in graphical, Etch-a-sketch form .
(6) When either predictability or bond strength was considered independently, several bracket systems, coupled with a particular etch time, had either high predictability or high bond strength.
(7) This demineralization was similar to enamel acid etched with 50% phosphoric acid for 2 mn.
(8) This study evaluated the bond strength between glass ionomer cements and laser-etched dentin.
(9) Acid etching smooths and cleans the dentinal surface.
(10) Examination of apposed replicas and deep-etched specimens indicated that at least some of the IMPs extend through the T. pallidum outer membrane and are exposed on the surface of the organism.
(11) Isolated appressed chloroplast membranes, highly enriched in photosystem II (PSII) activity, were examined by freeze-etch electron microscopy.
(12) The technique of freeze-etching for electron microscopy applied to isolated islets of Langerhans has permitted a successful evaluation of emiocytotic events on the cell surface.

Rebiting
Definition:
(n.) The act or process of deepening worn lines in an etched plate by submitting it again to the action of acid.
Example Sentences:
