| fick's law of diffusion | The principle that a substance put into solution will tend to diffuse towards constant concentration throughout the solution. (09 Oct 1997) |

| Fick's laws of diffusion | The direction of movement of solutes by diffusion is always from a higher to a lower concentration and the diffusive flux JA of solute A across a plane at x is proportional to the concentration gradient of A at x; i.e., JA = -D(CA/x), the increase of concentration of solute A with time, CA/t, is directly proportional to the change in the concentration gradient, i.e., CA/t = D(fl2/x2).

| lateral diffusion | Diffusion in two dimensions, usually referring to movement in the plane of the membrane, such as the motion of fluorescently labelled lipids or proteins measured by the technique of fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP). (18 Nov 1997) |
| least diffusion circle | In the configuration of rays emerging from a spherocylindrical lens system, the place where diverging rays of the lens first forming a line image are balanced by converging rays of the second lens. (05 Mar 2000) |
