| uranyl acetate | <chemical> Uranium salt that is very electron dense and that is used as a stain in electron microscopy, usually for staining nucleic acid containing structures in sections. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| uranyl acetate stain | <technique> A stain used in electron microscopy; uranyl acetate binds specifically to nucleic acids but selectively tends to be abolished by osmium fixation; proteins are well stained, but cytomembranes are poorly stained. (05 Mar 2000) |

| flurogestone acetate | <chemical> A synthetic fluorinated steroid that is used as a progestational hormone. Pharmacological action: progestational hormones, synthetic. Chemical name: Pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione, 17-(acetyloxy)-9-fluoro-11-hydroxy-, (11beta)- (12 Dec 1998) |
| 5-methoxyindole-3-acetate | An intermediate of tryptophan and serotonin degradation; excreted as conjugates. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 9a-fluorohydrocortisone acetate | 9a-fluoro-17-hydroxycorticosterone 9a-fluoro-11b,17a,21-trihydroxypregn-4-en e-3,20-dione 21-acetate;a potent mineralocorticoid. Synonym: 9a-fluorocortisol, 9a-fluorohydrocortisone acetate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lead acetate | Has been used as an astringent in diarrhoea, and in aqueous solution as a wet dressing in certain dermatoses. Synonym: sugar of lead. (05 Mar 2000) |
| leuprolide acetate | A synthetic nonapeptide analog of naturally occurring gonadotropin-releasing hormone; used in the palliative treatment of advanced prostatic cancer. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Abbe test plate | <equipment> A long, wedge-shaped coverslip about 0.20 mm thick at one end and 0.10 to 0.12 mm at the other end coated chemically with a silver film on which are ruled horizontal lines. at each variation in thickness of 0.01 mm there are vertical lines. By means of oblique illumination and by focusing on different portions of the plate, it is possible to determine the optimum coverslip thickness for any objective and also, for microscopes with drawtubes, the tube length for best objective performance. The approximate freedom from spherical and chromatic aberrations can also be estimated. Small isolated bits of silver near the edges of the lines form good objects for the star test (05 Aug 1998) |
| acetone test | A test for ketonuria; the suspected urine is shaken up with a few drops of sodium nitroprusside, and strong ammonia water is then gently poured over the mixture; if acetone is present, a magenta ring forms at the line of contact; tablets containing sodium nitroprusside and alkali are now more commonly used. (05 Mar 2000) |
| achievement test | A standardised test used to measure acquired learning, e.g., competence in a specific subject area such as reading or arithmetic, in contrast to an intelligence test which is a useful index of potential ability or learning. (05 Mar 2000) |
