hyclate (medicine) and depolarise (medicine)


hyclate (medicine)


hyclate
USAN-approved contraction for monohydrochloride hemiethanolate hemihydrate, HCl-1/2C2H5OH-1/2H2O.


depolarise (medicine)


depolarise


1. <optics> To deprive of polarity; to reduce to an unpolarised condition.

This word has been inaccurately applied in optics to describe the effect of a polarising medium, as a crystalline plate, in causing the reappearance of a ray, in consequence of a change in its plane of polarisation, which previously to the change was intercepted by the analyser.

2. <physics> To free from polarisation, as the negative plate of the voltaic battery.

Origin: F. Depolariser.
