What is the vessel called that is used to expose the Blessed Sacrament for Adoration?

The term is Monstrance. A Monstrance is the vessel used in the Roman Catholic, Old Catholic, and Anglican Churches to display the consecrated Eucharistic Host, during Eucharistic adoration or Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. A monstrance looks like a golden sun with 'rays', with a glass center where the Host is placed. It has a column attached so a priest can hold it high, and a base so the priest can set it on the altar. In the picture above, the monstrance is sitting on the altar. "The word monstrance comes from the Latin word monstrare, meaning "to show". It is closely related to the English word demonstrate, meaning "to show clearly". Both words share a common root. In Latin, the monstrance is known as an Ostensorium (from ostendere "to show") and monstre/monstral (England)." (Wikipedia)
