Amplitude information

Note that while the ToF information is relatively consistent, the amplitude is varying considerably between the measurement points. This confirms the uncertainty related to the amplitude information which, in this works serves only to locate the area in which the measurements should be taken typically measurements are limited to within the range of signal amplitudes in excess of 30% of the peak value. 

As remarked in the previous section EH is able to retrieve phase and amplitude information separately and with a resolution comparable with that of conventional HREM observations. 

We have collected a set of observed structure factors - hL for which we have only amplitude information. Denote the required phase angle for... 

High-resolution cryo-EM data can be collected in two forms as electron images (69) or as electron diffraction patterns. Cryo-EM images contain information on both amplitude and phase, which can be analyzed after Fourier transformation. The quality of the amplitude data can be improved if combined with electron diffraction data, which contains only amplitude information. In this way, EM overcomes one of the main difficulties in XRC. In XRC, only diffraction patterns are obtained. X-rays caimot be used to form an image of the crystal therefore, the phase information is lost. In contrast, electron microscopes contain electron lenses that can capture phase information.

The factory has been measured for a variety of samples, indicating that the approximation can be applied up to quasi-atomic resolution. In the case of biological specimens typical values ofy are of the order of 5-7%, as determined from images with a resolution of better than 10 A [37,38] For an easy interpretation of image contrast and a retrieval of the object information from the contrast, such a combination of phase and amplitude information is necessary. 

We should, finally, mention also the possibility to Indirectly detect resonance l2X. 2H experiments. A 2D experiment invariably involves two variable time periods (i)(see Fig. 7). During the initial "evolution period" the w.j-information is acquired by the nuclear spins and "stored" in the form of phase or amplitude information which is read out and recorded during the detection period together with the (02-lnformatlon. The indirect detection of the U3. -information permits the study of otherwise inaccessible properties. This feature can be utilized to indirectly observe resonance of low sensitivity nuclei (2JJ and of forbidden transitions (2 3S 35j, i. . multiple quantum transitions and combination lines. In this respect 2D spectroscopy really provides novel information. In particular zero quantum transitions, l.e. transition between energy levels of equal magnetic quantum number had never been observed before (35J(see Fig. 8). 

The process of converting a swarm of gas phase ions into an electrical signal that provides both arrival time information and amplitude information is known as ion detection. The ion detector is typically located after the ion mobility separation cell and has a number of ideal requisites to accomplish the transduction of mobility-separated ions in a manner that minimizes loss of sensitivity and IMS resolving power. 

Hologram Physical record of an interference pattern. It contains phase and amplitude information about the wavefronts that produced it. 

Differential gain distortion is a distortion of the amplitude information on a subcarrier in the presence of amphtude modulation of another subcarrier or main carrier. Differential phase distortion is a distortion of the phase information on a subcarrier in the presence of amplitude modulation of another subcarrier or main carrier. The former is measured in percent whereas the latter in degrees. 

When the frequency/amplitude/information is adequate to that necessary for the transition/con-formational change, the system may achieve a new stationary state at which it can remain for a certain period of time. Any other frequency/ amplitude/information (lower or larger) would bring the system to a state different than the stationary one which is unstable and therefore the effects would be smaller and would quickly disappear. 

The thermodynamic amplitude information, measuring the amount of energy moving in and out of the molecules, can be used to evaluate AEP. The kinetic frequency information, if studied as a function of temperature, can be put into the Arrhenius equation to yield the value of the activation energy, AE. ... 

The remote-echo detector is shown in Figure 11. In this method the electron spin echo at the end of the pulse sequence, which uses Vi < rnuclear coherence generator, is not recorded. Instead, at the time of echo formation an additional nil pulse transfers the electron coherence to longitudinal magnetization. The echo amplitude information can thus be stored for a time interval up to the order of T. After a fixed time delay h < T l, the z-magnetization is read out using a two-pulse echo sequence with a fixed time interval X2 > r. Remote echo detection can be applied to many experiments, including three-pulse ESEEM and HYSCORE, and thus can eliminate blind spots with an appropriate choice of small ri. Note, however, that it may suffer from reduced sensitivity due to the increased sequence time.
