CONT

The visual assessment of tooth colour by the comparison and matching of the tooth with a tooth colour shade guide under the same lighting conditions is the most frequently applied method in dentistry... Tooth shade guides come in many types and forms, but essentially the basic design involves a series of standard tooth colours, often tooth shaped, and can be arranged according to chroma and/or value.

Glassiled is a laminated glass with embedded monocolour Light Emitting Diodes(LED's) which are powered through a high performance invisible conductive coating. Glassiled is available with either standard LED's for decorative purposes or with extra high power LED's for lighting purposes. Light sources float on glass without any visible wiring on the glass surface, allowing you to take advantage of the full transparency and elegance of the glass. Glassiled can be used for signaling, decoration, illumination and even for lighting in monocolour applications.

OBS

Glassiled: A trademark of AGC.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Space Physics

  • Atmospheric Physics
DEF

Quotient of the luminous flux incident on an infinitesimal element of a surface containing the point under consideration, by the area of that element.

CONT

Illuminance (usually ’E’ in formulas) is the total amount of visible light illuminating (incident upon) a point on a surface from all directions above the surface. This "surface" can be a physical surface or an imaginary plane. Therefore illuminance is equivalent to irradiance weighted with the response curve of the human eye.

OBS

Standard unit for illuminance is Lux(lx) which is lumens per square meter(lm/m²). There are several older units of illuminance : footcandle : 1 fc=10. 764 lx; phot : 1 ph=10 000 lx. Typical illuminance values are : 1 lx=full moon; 10 lx=street lighting; 100-1 000 lx=workspace lighting; 10 000 lx=surgery lighting; 100 000 lx=plain sunshine.

OBS

"Illumination" is a deprecated term for "illuminance".

OBS

illuminance: term officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (RTAG).
