| MORD | magnetic optical rotatory dispersion |
| dispersion staining | <microscopy> A procedure involving central or annular stops in the objective back focal plane to induce coloured images of transparent particles mounted in liquids with indices matching the particle at a wavelength in the visible. The particle and liquid should possess very different dispersion curves for best colours. (05 Aug 1998) |

| optical rotatory dispersion | The method of measuring the dispersion of an optically active molecule to determine the relative magnitude of right- or left-handed components and sometimes structural features of the molecule. (12 Dec 1998) |
| temporal dispersion | Asynchronous repolarization of myocardial fibres that predisposes to abnormal current flow and ectopic rhythms (especially with bradyarrhythmias). (05 Mar 2000) |
