| urate crystals stain | <technique> A stain using silver methenamine to detect crystals, which polarise light in contrast with calcium crystals; useful in diagnosing gout and kidney infarcts resulting from uric acid build-up. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Florence's crystals | Brown rhombic crystal's formed at the interface between a drop of Lugol's solution and a drop of fluid that contains semen; not a specific test for the latter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Leyden's crystals | Crystal's in the shape of elongated double pyramids, formed from eosinophils, found in the sputum in bronchial asthma and in other exudates or transudates containing eosinophils. Synonym: asthma crystals, Charcot-Neumann crystals, Charcot-Robin crystals, Leyden's crystals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Lubarsch's crystals | Intracellular crystal's in the testis resembling sperm crystal's. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gas-liquid chromatography | <technique> A chemistry lab technique, a type of column chromatography, used to separate the components of a mixed substance. The substance is held stationary by an inert solid coated with an inert liquid which is not likely to evaporate (i.e. Is nonvolatile), while a gas (called an eluant) flows past it bringing out the components one at a time.

| chromatography, high pressure liquid | Liquid chromatographic techniques which feature high inlet pressures, high sensitivity, and high speed. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chromatography, liquid | Chromatographic techniques in which the mobile phase is a liquid. (12 Dec 1998) |
| clear liquid diet | A diet, often used postoperatively, consisting usually of water, tea, coffee, gelatin preparations, and clear soups or broth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Cotunnius' liquid | <anatomy> The fluid which surrounds the membranous labyrinth of the internal ear, and separates it from the walls of the chambers in which the labyrinth lies. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| heavy liquid petrolatum | <chemical> A mixture of liquid hydrocarbons obtained from petroleum. It is used as laxative, lubricant, ointment base, and emollient. Pharmacological action: cathartic, emollients, ointment bases. Chemical name: Hydrocarbon oils (12 Dec 1998) |
| high-performance liquid chromatography | <investigation> A lab technique, a type of column chromatography, which uses a combination of several separation techniques to separate substances at higher resolution. Extremely sharp peaks on the elution profile can be produced with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). (09 Oct 1997) |

| immersion liquid | <microscopy> Any liquid occupying the space between the object and microscope objective. Such a liquid is usually required by objectives of 3-mm focal length or less. For best results (i.e., resolution) the liquid should be used between the condenser and the microscope slide. Immersion objectives for transmitted light are designed for use with either oil, glycerin, or water, the refractive index of the liquid and the coverslip (if any) being the determining factor. The liquid and the front lens of the objective should ideally coincide in index and in dispersion value. See: homogeneous immersion objective (05 Aug 1998) |
| full liquid diet | A diet consisting only of liquids but including cream soups, ice cream, and milk. (05 Mar 2000) |
