How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T19670706 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Target entity: STED Context triple: [Stefan Hell, abbreviationCoined, STED]
-
A.
Nomarski microscopy
Nomarski microscopy, also known as differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy, is an optical technique that enhances contrast in transparent, unstained specimens by converting phase shifts in light passing through the sample into variations in image intensity.
-
B.
Talbot effect
The Talbot effect is a near-field optical phenomenon in which a periodic structure illuminated by coherent light produces self-images at regular intervals along the propagation direction.
-
C.
SPDC
SPDC is the acronym for Myanmar’s former military junta, the State Peace and Development Council, which ruled the country from 1997 to 2011.
-
D.
Stokes shift
Stokes shift is a phenomenon in spectroscopy where the wavelength of emitted light is longer (lower energy) than that of the absorbed light, commonly observed in fluorescence and phosphorescence.
-
E.
StaR technology
StaR technology is a proprietary platform developed by Heptares Therapeutics for stabilizing G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) to enable their detailed structural analysis and use in structure-based drug discovery.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
