   A type of spectroscopic measurement produced by transmitting light through a sample and reflecting it back through the sample onto a probe.

   • Because the beam is transmitted through the film and reflected from the substrate, the measurement of the spectra of relatively thick films on metal substrates is usually known as transflection spectrometry.

   A transfiguration consisting of reflection about a line combined with translation along the same line.

   • Clearly, A", B", C" are not images of A, B, C, under either a translation, rotation, or reflection. Hopefully, it will be possible to find a unique transflection which does the job.
   • During the sequence of considering translations, rotations, reflections, and transflections of a plane α, we show that ...
   • Visualize these operations by considering the simple screw and transflection. Transflection can be imagined as seeing yourself in a mirror even as the mirror is being moved parallel to itself.
3. 3

   The coining of a new word by changing of the inflectional pattern of an existing word.

   • A third means of a morphological nature is transflection, i.e., the transfer of a vocable (usually a verb) from one inflectional pattern to another.
   • Another source of variability is given by competition of different word-formation procedures, eg transflection (a word-formation procedure common in Slavic languages in which a new word is coined by a change of grammatical morpheme) vs ...
