DictionarySeeraygrenz ray
grenz ray[′grents ‚rā] (nucleonics) An x-ray produced at the long-wavelength end of the x-ray spectrum, involving wavelengths of the order of 1 to 10 angstroms (0.1 to 1 nanometer), by using special x-ray tubes that operate at voltages from only 5000 to 15,000 volts. grenz ray
grenz ray (grenz), Although in German spelling Grenz, like all nouns, begins with a capital letter, its English derivative is spelled with a lowercase g.Very soft x-rays, closely allied to the ultraviolet rays in their wavelength (that is, relatively long) and in their biologic action upon tissues; they are produced by a specially built vacuum tube with a hot cathode operating from a transformer delivering not more than 8 kw. [Ger. Grenze, borderline, boundary] grenz ray (grenz rā) Very soft x-rays, closely allied to the ultraviolet rays in their wavelength (i.e., long) and in their biologic action on tissues; they are produced by a specially built vacuum tube with a hot cathode operating from a transformer delivering not more than 8 kw. [Ger. Grenze, borderline, boundary]grenz rayA low-energy x-ray photon with an average wavelength of 2 A.U. (range from 1 to 3 A.U.); obtained with peak voltage of less than 10 kV. Grenz rays lie between ultraviolet and x-rays. Synonym: border raySee also: raygrenz ray (grenz rā) Very soft x-rays, closely allied to the ultraviolet rays in their long wavelength and in their biologic action on tissues. [Ger. Grenze, borderline, boundary] |
