What's the difference between dye and streak?

Dye


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To stain; to color; to give a new and permanent color to, as by the application of dyestuffs.
  • (n.) Color produced by dyeing.

  • (19) Minced and triturated fragments from the spinal cord of normal rat fetuses (15-18 days gestation) labeled with the fluorescent dye fast blue (FB) were successfully transplanted into juvenile myelin-deficient rat spinal cord under direct observation.
  • (20) In vitro, the soluble core PEI and membrane both bound reactive substances of limited aqueous stability, such as from [14C]N-methyl-N-nitrosourea ([14C]NMU), and aqueous stable dyes of molecular weight up to 1000.

Streak


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To stretch; to extend; hence, to lay out, as a dead body.
  • (n.) A line or long mark of a different color from the ground; a stripe; a vein.
