  Goniometer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For audio, a goniometer is used to visualize the amount of stereo in a signal.
The contact angle goniometer was invented by Dr. William Zisman of the United States Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC and the first of this type of instrument was built by ramé-hart during the 1960's.
Goniometers are used in crystallography for measuring angles between crystal faces.

 The Multitechnic Goniometer
A motorised goniometer head including a z-translation stage is available to bring the sample to the goniometer centre, parallel to the goniometer vertical axis.
The goniometer head is then mounted horizontally.For liquids, the incident beam is deflected downwards using a mirror (surface diffraction) or a crystal (reflectivity).
The height of the goniometer is simultaneously adjusted as a function of the deflection angle.

 Wearable Goniometer Project Overview   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Goniometers are often used by physical therapists and sports care professionals to observe and measure a patient's joint movement and/or range.
The traditional hand-held goniometer (a "protractor" with a moveable arm) is suitable for measuring static joint angles, while electrogoniometers use potentiometers or strain gauges in up to two planes, allowing continuous, multi-axis joint angle measurements.
Existing goniometer technology is quite suitable for measurements performed on a patient in a carefully controlled setting.

 Methods and Instruments of Mineralogy - goniometer, petrological microscope x-ray
In 1874 Miller constructed a two-circle goniometer by adding a vertical circle to the usual horizontal circle instrument; this arrangement was modified by Fedorov in 1889 who used an autocollimating telescope in place of the collimator and telescope.
In 1894 Tutton exhibited his single-circle crystal-grinding goniometer which he used later in preparation of the crystal plates and prisms for his extended investigations into the isomorphous series of the orthorhombic sulphates and selenates of potassium, rubidium, and cesium, and into other isomorphous series.
This element of uncertainty was removed in 1924 by Weissenberg by use of the x-ray goniometer in which, during rotation of the crystal as in the simple rotation method, the photographic film is moved at a definite rate of translation and without rotation.

 Technical Report 99-010: Improving the Positional Accuracy of the Goniometer on the Philips CM SERIES TEM: Results
Our hypothesis was that the source of inaccuracies in the goniometer arises from the variations in the slew rate as a function of the absolute position along a goniometer axis.
The periodic variation is the same over the entire range of the goniometer movements although we have only plotted a small portion of the curve in the figure in order to emphasize the structure of the periodic variations.
It is clear that the dependence of the Y axis heading as a function of the position of the goniometer should be incorporated into the model to further improve the accuracy of targeting.

Ein Goniometer wird zur Messung von Winkeln benutzt.
In der einfachsten Ausführung ist ein Goniometer ein Winkelmesser.
Bei der Tonaufnahmetechnik in der Stereofonie hat das Goniometer, das auch Stereosichtgerät genannt wird, seine Bedeutung als Anzeige der Phasenlage der Tonsignale beziehungsweise der Ähnlichkeit zwischen beiden Kanälen L und R. Damit kann ein Überhandnehmen von teilweise gegenphasigen und auch verpolten Signalen vermieden werden, die sonst beim Mono-Anhören ausgelöscht werden.
