| Stokes' law | A muscle lying above an inflamed mucous or serous membrane is frequently the seat of paralysis, a relationship of the rate of fall of a small sphere in a viscous fluid; applicable to centrifugation of macromolecules, the wavelength of light emitted by a fluorescent material is longer than that of the radiation used to excite the fluorescence.

| Abbe's law of limiting resolution | <physics> For a periodic structure of units separated by distance d and obliquely illuminated by the unrefracted ray and one of the two diffracted rays (extremely oblique illumination). Abbe applied the law of diffraction: d = 0.5 lambda /NA, where: lambda = wavelength of the monochromic light or shortest of mixed wavelengths NA = the limiting numerical aperture (NA) of objective or condenser.
