English to French translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-) / spectrophotomètre
English term or phrase: full wavelength scans
In this study, full wavelength scans were performed using the Scan module, while photometric linearity measurements were performed as single wavelength absorbance measurements using the Concentration module.

French translation:balayage de toutes les longueurs d'onde (du spectre considéré)
Explanation:
cf. par ex. (pour spectre UV, visible ou autre) :
- p.88 dans https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/52776648.pdf
-> "Il existe différents types de spectrophotomètres UV-visible, [...] permettant un balayage de toutes les longueurs d’onde".
- p.76 dans https://perso.crans.org/romeo-bigue/public/LC/poly technique...
-> "le spectre final de la molécule est obtenu par enregistrement de l’atténuation du signal
lors du balayage de toutes les longueurs d’onde."

balayage complet de la longueur d'onde


Explanation:
Le terme anglais "full wavelength scan" vient du domaine de l'imagerie de la matière utilisée comme méthode d'analyse de laboratoire (chimique, biochimique, médical etc.).
La traduction en langue française est « balayage complet de la longueur d’onde ».
Le scanner utilisé pour cette analyse peut balayer différentes longueurs d’ondes et chaque analyse nécessite une certaine plage des longueurs d’ondes spécifique à une certaine bande électromagnétique. Ces ondes servent à identifier des composants et des caractéristiques d’un certain matériau.

agree  Platary (X): Oui, sur toute une longueur d'onde donnée.

disagree  Tony M: You can't 'sweep' a 'wavelength' — the only sense is if you sweep a range of wavelengths; logically, it would be 'de toutes les longueurs d'one' — but I don't think we'd express it like that in FR.

disagree  Charles R.: Idem

agree  FPC: I see and agree with the fine point made by Tony, but I think you can also see wavelength as a variable not just a fixed datum. hence you can "scan it" (run across the values of that variable), and by metonymy the expression is fine.
