English term or phrase: Transverse
Hola,
Os agradecería si me pudierais ayudar con la leyenda de una figura:
"Fig. X is a transverse, cross-sectional view of the electrode pair X"
Si "cross-sectional" es un corte transversal, ¿cuál sería el significado de "transverse"?
Además en la leyenda de otra figura aparece "cross-sectional view" sin "transverse".
El problema es que no dispongo de las figuras para poder comprobar la diferencia.
Gracias.

Explanation:
Por la redacción, "Fig. X is a transverse, cross-sectional view of the electrode pair X", me da la impresión que simplemente añade "cross-sectional" después de "transverse" para clarificar o precisar, pero "transverse" es "transversal", de eso no hay duda.

Perdón por las cc, debo revisar mi teclado, se me ha borrado la respuesta.

Como dicen mis compañeros, son sinónimos. Echa un vistazo a este documento, que espero que sea la patente que estás traduciendo (con imágenes):
