Multiple-beam fringes of constant inclination were used by CharlesFabry and Alfred Pérot in France for resolution of spectral lines having only small differences of wavelength.
Until the development of all-dielectric multi-layer reflection coatings, which have low light-loss coefficients, the Fabry - Perot interferometer had very little application to the spectrometry of faint light sources, although it was used by Fabry and Buisson as early as 1911 on the relatively bright Orion nebula, though with lossy metallic layers.
In the Fabry - Perot interferometer, the multiple beam interference fringes from a plane parallel plate illuminated near normal incidance are used.
Fabry disease in mice is associated with age-dependent susceptibility to vascular thrombosis.
Fabry disease is a rare X-linked defect of the lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactosidase A. The disease is characterized by progressive intracellular accumulation of neutral glycosphingolipids.
Fabry disease is an X-linked inherited disorder of metabolism due to mutations in the gene encoding alpha-galactosidase A, a lysosomal enzyme.
