| tracer | 1. An element or compound containing atoms that can be distinguished from their normal counterparts by physical means (e.g., radioactivity assay or mass spectrography) and can thus be used to follow (trace) the metabolism of the normal substances. 2. A coloured substance (e.g., a dye) used as a tracer to follow the flow of water. 3. An instrument used in dissecting out nerves and blood vessels. 4. A mechanical device with a marking point attached to one jaw and a graph plate or tracing plate attached to the other jaw; used to record the direction and extent of movements of the mandible. See: tracing. Origin: M.E. Track, fr. O. Fr. Tracier, to make one's way, fr. L. Traho, pp. Tractum, to draw, + -er, agent suffix (05 Mar 2000) |

| tracer/y | Ornamental work with rambled lines. Especially: The decorative head of a Gothic window. Window tracery is of two sorts, plate tracery and bar tracery. Plate tracery, common in Italy, consists of a series of ornamental patterns cut through a flat plate of stone. Bar tracery is a decorative pattern formed by the curves and intersections of the molded bars of the mullions. Window tracery is imitated in many decorative objects, as panels of wood or metal either pierced or in relief. See also Stump tracery under Stump, and Fan tracery under Fan. A similar decoration in some styles of vaulting, the ribs of the vault giving off the minor bars of which the tracery is composed. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| radioactive tracer | <physics, radiobiology> A radioisotope is an element which has the same atomic number as another but a different atomic weight, exhibiting the property of spontaneous decomposition. Decomposition gives off radiation (gamma rays) that can be detected with a counter. If a radioisotope is attached to a biological compound and injected into the body, its path may be traced through the body (resulting in an image). (27 Sep 1997) |
