| chromophore |
The light absorbing part of a photopigment. The photopigments contained in photoreceptors consist of two components: an opsin bound to a chromophore. The chromophore in human (and all mammalian) photopigments is retinal (a form of vitamin A). Upon absorbing a photon, retinal changes its conformation which results in its separation from the opsin group. This chemical change initiates the visual response. ...

A naturally occurring pigment that selectively absorbs light at certain wavelengths. In tissue, it can be used to aid in targeting a laser surgery beam. See also Raman Spectroscopy.

| chromophore |
From the Greek for "color bringer", a chromophore is generally a molecule that acts as a pigment that gives an object color by selectively absorbing light at particular wavelengths. In the context of this article, a chromophore is a retinal (vitamin A) derivative that forms part of a photopigment. See opsin, photopigment, retinal and retinol.
