| light-ion fusion | <radiobiology> Light-Ion-Beam-Driven Inertial Confinement fusion, using beams of light ions driven at implosion targets. Pulsed-power driven accelerators are relatively efficient and cost-effective, but beam-focusing is a technical hurdle for this approach. (09 Oct 1997) |
| light metal | A metal with a specific gravity of less than 4. (05 Mar 2000) |
| light microscope | <instrument> The most common type of microscope (a device used to magnify small objects or substances) used in laboratories. The device works by passing visible light through a condenser and an objective lens. (09 Oct 1997) |
| light microscopy | <procedure> In contrast to electron microscopy. See: bright field, phase contrast, interference, interference contrast, interference reflection, dark field, confocal and fluorescence microscopy. (18 Nov 1997) |
| light-near dissociation | A stronger near pupil response than light response; due to weak pupillomotor input, Argyll Robertson pupil, dorsal midbrain syndrome, or to misdirection of ciliary muscle fibres into the iris sphincter. Synonym: light-near dissociation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| light-o'-love | 1. An old tune of a dance, the name of which made it a proverbial expression of levity, especially in love matters. "Best sing it to the tune of light-o'-love." 2. Hence: A light or wanton woman. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| light reactions | In photosynthesis, aseries of reactions in which light energy isconverted to chemical energy with the help of chlorophyll. ATP iscreated along with hydrogen ions and electrons as water molecules aresplit apart. (09 Oct 1997) |
| light reflex | A red glow reflected from the fundus of the eye when a light is cast upon the retina, as in retinoscopy. Synonym: eye reflex, fundus reflex, pupillary reflex. Synonym: pyramid of light. (05 Mar 2000) |

| light scattering | Particles suspended in a solution will cause scattering of light and the extent of the scattering is related to the size and shape of the particles (in a somewhat complex relationship). (18 Nov 1997) |
| light sense | The ability to perceive variations in the degree of light or brightness. (05 Mar 2000) |
| light sleep | A condition of half sleep. Synonym: light sleep. Origin: dys-+ G. Nystaxis, drowsiness (05 Mar 2000) |
| light treatment | Treatment with light. For example, a newborn with jaundice may be put under the lights. (12 Dec 1998) |
| light water | <radiobiology> Ordinary H2O, as opposed to heavy water, which contains atoms of the heavier isotopes of hydrogen, deuterium and/or tritium. See: hydrogen, isotope, deuterium, tritium, heavy water. (09 Oct 1997) |
