| light difference | The difference in light sensitivity of the two eyes. Synonym: brightness difference threshold. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| light differential threshold | The smallest difference in light intensity that can be appreciated. (05 Mar 2000) |
| light green SF yellowish | An acid arylmethane dye, used as a cytoplasmic stain in plant and animal histology; fades badly in bright light. (05 Mar 2000) |
| light harvesting system | Set of photosynthetic pigment molecules that absorb light and channel the energy to the photosynthetic reaction centre, where the light reactions of photosynthesis occur. In higher plants, contains chlorophyll and carotenoids and is present in two slightly different forms in photosystems I and II. (18 Nov 1997) |
| light-hearted | Free from grief or anxiety; gay; cheerful; merry. Light-heartedly, Light-heartedness. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| light-horseman | 1. A soldier who serves in the light horse. 2. <zoology> A West Indian fish of the genus Ephippus, remarkable for its high dorsal fin and brilliant colours. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| 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) |
