What's the difference between chromatic and chromatrope?
Chromatic
Definition:
(a.) Relating to color, or to colors.
(a.) Proceeding by the smaller intervals (half steps or semitones) of the scale, instead of the regular intervals of the diatonic scale.
Example Sentences:
(1) Classic technics of digital image analysis and new algorithms were used to improve the contrast on the full image or a portion of it, contrast a skin lesion with statistical information deduced from another lesion, evaluate the shape of the lesion, the roughness of the surface, and the transition region from the lesion to the normal skin, and analyze a lesion from the chromatic point of view.
(2) Scientists and clinicians concerned with underwater vision have not considered the relationship between chromatic aberration, water color, and the refractive state of the eye.
(3) Growth of cells in medium containing BrdU for two generations allows fluorometric documentation of the semiconservative distribution of newly replicated DNA between sister chromatids, and regions of sister chromated exchange are demarcated.
(4) The male:female prevalence of nickel allergy was 1:2 (sex difference p less than 0.001) and for chromate was 7:1 (sex difference p less than 0.001).
(5) The results were interpreted as the manifestation of chromatically-opponent system activities in temporal integration.
(6) In Experiment 1, newborns differentiated gray from green, from yellow, and from red: For each of these hues they preferred chromatic-and-gray checkerboards over gray squares matched in mean luminance, even though the luminance of the gray checks was varied systematically over a wide range so as to minimize nonchromatic cues.
(7) With the advent of colour coding in electro-optical displays, the need for a detailed quantification of focusing responses to chromatic stimuli is particularly important because of the influence of the chromatic aberration present in ocular optics on the focusing response of the eye.
(8) In agreement with reports from comparable centres, metals are high up on the "hitlist" of frequent allergens (nickel 24%, cobalt 9%, chromates 6%), followed by ingredients of cosmetics and toiletries (fragrances 16%, balsam of Peru 10%, Kathon 5%), whilst already way back are topical medicines (neomycin 4%, parabens 3%, lanolin 2%, benzocaine 1%) and rubber additives (thiuram-mix 2% and carba-mix 1%).
(9) Spectral differences in image size are proportional to the eye's longitudinal chromatic aberration and the axial distance between the entrance pupil and nodal point.
(10) The human epidemiological studies have provided convincing evidence that zinc chromate is a potent carcinogen and there is some evidence that calcium chromate and chromium trioxide also constitute a cancer hazard in humans.
(11) Stimulus parameters were selected to isolate the chromatic and achromatic systems.
(12) Exposure to 10(-7) M chromate solution for 7 days inhibited colony formation while acute (1 h) treatment was toxic at 5 .
(13) In many cyanobacteria, phycoerythrin expression is regulated by light wavelength in a response known as chromatic adaptation.
(14) In the lung of a rat intratracheally injected with a saline solution of sodium chromate, ascorbic acid decreased to 80% of the normal level, and ca.
(15) We conclude that, for stimuli of either achromatic or chromatic contrast, peripheral spatial resolution is limited by post-receptoral mechanisms.
(16) Patients with high-tension glaucoma showed significant losses in both chromatic and achromatic sensitivities when compared with low-tension glaucoma patients.
(17) We know a good deal less about the chromatic analyses that occur beyond these early stages.
(18) 93 patients with contact allergy to chromates were followed up for 15 years during which time they were examined clinically and patch tested quantitatively at regular intervals.
(19) Yet, the similarity of the chromatic arrangement of their centers with that of the ganglion cells shows that the four basic types of color channels are already in existence in the amacrine cells where they seem to originate.
(20) When the fields were juxtaposed, chromatic sensitivity declined with viewing duration.
Chromatrope
Definition:
(n.) An instrument for exhibiting certain chromatic effects of light (depending upon the persistence of vision and mixture of colors) by means of rapidly rotating disks variously colored.
(n.) A device in a magic lantern or stereopticon to produce kaleidoscopic effects.
Example Sentences:
(1) The chromatrope pigment of Mermis nigrescens (Phylum: Aschelminthes, Class: Nematoda) was previously thought to have a role in photoreception.
(2) 0.5 nl chromatrope volume is on the order of 10 mM (heme).
(3) Microchemical procedures were developed which revealed that the chromatrope contains an average of 5-10(-12) mol of non-dialysable protoheme.
