Plates

Pour plates or streak plates?

The pour plate method of counting bacteria is more precise than the streak plate method, but, on the average, it will give a lower count.

Bipolar Plates

• good electrical conductivity (>100 S cm 1 bulk conductivity), • high thermal conductivity (>20 W cm ), • high chemical and corrosion resistance, • mechanical stability toward compression forces, • low permeability for hydrogen, • low-cost material being processable with mass production techniques, • low weight and volume, and • recyclable materials. Two different kinds of materials have been ...

Microchannel Plates

A typical MCP consists of about 10,000,000 closely packed channels of common diameter which are formed by drawing, etching, or firing in hydrogen, a lead glass matrix. Typically, the diameter of each channel is ~ 10 microns. Each channel acts as an independent, continuous dinode photomultiplier. In astronomy, and in the many other fields that use MCPs, the detectors are generally used for disto...

Microzone Plates

Breaking plates.

ome of the consequences of the motion of Earth's tectonic plates are quite evident: various mountain chains for instance. Others, such as events occurring deep in subduction zones where one plate plunges beneath another, can be seen only indirectly through seismic imaging techniques. The approach allows the structure of Earth's interior to be reconstructed from observed seismograms, and it cont...
