breast implants
The context is a document detailing the characteristics and specifications of breast implants and demonstrating that they comply with various standards.
This particular section deals with the surface texture on the shell of the implant, and the need to take samples at its "base", "rayon" and "sommet".
The first and third points are easily understood, but a "rayon" surely can't specify one particular point, as a radius emanates from the centre to any given spot on the surface.
Full extract:
"Les caractéristiques de la surface doivent être étudiées en utilisant un microscope électronique à balayage. Les caractéristiques de la surface (telles que la dimension des pores, les pics et les creux) doivent être mesurées sur une surface d'environ 4 mm². Sur neufs échantillons au total, trois au moins doivent avoir été prélevés à la base, sur le rayon et au sommet de chaque implant."
