Tutton (1894) has combined a goniometer with lapidaries' appliances for cutting section-plates and prisms from crystals accurately in any desired direction.
The instrument commonly employed for measuring the optic axial angle of biaxial crystals is really a combination of a goniometer with a polariscope.
In use, the goniometer is placed directly opposite to a window, with its axis parallel to the horizontal window-bars, and as far distant as possible.
For the optical investigation of minute crystals under the microscope, various forms of stage-goniometer with one, two or three graduated circles have been constructed.
Goniometers of special construction have been devised for certain purposes; for instance, the inverted horizontal-circle goniometer of H.
The earliest instrument was the contact goniometer devised by Carangeot in 1783.
These difficulties have been overcome by the use of a two-circle goniometer or theodolite-goniometer, which as a combination of a vertical-circle goniometer and one with a horizontal-circle was first employed by W.
Several forms of instruments depending on this principle have been devised, the earliest being the vertical-circle goniometer of W.
An ordinary microscope fitted with cross-wires and a rotating graduated stage serves the purpose of a goniometer for measuring the plane angles of a crystal face or section, being the same in principle as the contact goniometer.
Miller not only measured many of the crystals submitted to him, but evidently taught Darwin to use the reflecting goniometer himself with considerable success.
Wollaston's reflecting goniometer has been long considered the best instrument possessed by crystallographers; but I learn from Liebig and Kopp's Reports, vol.
I'll bet you a small farm against a plugged nickel that right now he's working hisgoniometer so hard that it's pivots are getting hot.
In another example, the computer is given as input information the crystal constants (unit cell) and the zone orientation of the crystal on the goniometer and is asked to produce a scanning of a given part of reciprocal space.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "goniometer" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word. Other words: bevel; compass; gauge; instrument; protractor; quadrant; sextant; transit
