What's the difference between iridescence and iridescent?

Iridescence


Definition:

  • (n.) Exhibition of colors like those of the rainbow; the quality or state of being iridescent; a prismatic play of color; as, the iridescence of mother-of-pearl.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) We demonstrate in this paper that two viruses: iridescent (CIV) and herpetic (Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis) can enter by viropexis and be uncoated in several lines of mosquito cells.
  • (2) The iridescence from the cornea of the sand goby (Pomatoschistus minutus) occurs because of thin layer interference from the platelet-like cells in the stroma.
  • (3) The eye is well camouflaged by an iridescent cornea and a differentially coloured spectacle.
  • (4) One strain had mucoid colonies, fermented few carbohydrates and was serotype A:5, whereas, the other strain had smooth iridescent colonies, non-typeable capsular antigen, type 3 somatic antigen and fermented more than twice as many carbohydrates.
  • (5) Objective evidence of lens abnormality (opacities, vacuoles, or posterior subcapsular iridescence) was recorded and a comparison made between the two groups on the basis of that evidence.
  • (6) Salmon patches (6.4%), iridescent spots (10.3%), mottled brown areas (16.7%) and black sunbursts (7.7%) were seen as early as 10 years of age but showed an upward trend with age.
  • (7) The pathognomonic ocular manifestations of cystinosis are the presence of distinctive iridescent crystals within ocular tissue and a pigmentary retinopathy.
  • (8) Evidence of base-sequence homology between nucleic acids of different viruses was found within, but not between, the poxvirus and iridescent virus groups.
  • (9) The sensitivities of bilateral iridescent lens opacities, posterior cortical lens opacities, orbicularis oculi weakness, low intraocular pressure, ptosis, and ocular myotonia were 46.7, 50.0, 60.6, 59.3, 51.5, and 3.0%, while their specificities were 100.0, 100.0, 98.0, 94.1, 96.1, and 100.0%, respectively.
  • (10) Don't expect sandy beaches, do expect iridescent turquoise seas (especially in the Blue Grotto sea cave), fresh seafood, and a laid-back, unhurried lifestyle that would seduce even the nerviest banker into blissful lethargy.
  • (11) In addition to the widely recognized iridescent, blue, and watery mucoid (circular) colonies, punctiform colonies were observed.
  • (12) The origins of DNA replication of the genome (209 kbp) of Chilo iridescent virus (CIV), which is circularly permuted and terminally redundant, were identified.
  • (13) The genome was found to hybridize with the genome of another iridescent virus, type 9 (WIV), in DNA-DNA hybridization experiments.
  • (14) The iridescence was also found to be sensitive to pH, and the buffer HEPES was detrimental to the cornea compared to controls.
  • (15) Encapsulated strain forming iridescent colony type of both serotypes 1 and 2 had at least three antigens: heat-labile and trypsin-sensitive (L), heat-labile and trypsin-resistant (HL), and heat-stable and trypsin-resistant (HS).
  • (16) In vivo observations indicate the expression of iridescence to be linked to agonistic or reproductive behavior.
  • (17) Pili were found on the capsulated iridescent type, P-1059I, and on two non-capsulated variants, the blue, P-1059B, and the gray, P-1059G.
  • (18) In Gobius fluviatilis (Pallas), Gobius (Proterorhinus) marmoratus (Pallas), glossa Platichthys flesus (L) the cornea is double and there is an iridescent layer.
  • (19) An iridovirus, Apis iridescent virus (AIV), isolated from sick adult specimens of Apis cerana (Hymenoptera) from Kashmir, closely resembles iridescent viruses from Tipula and Sericesthis spp.
  • (20) The capsule was identified by precipitation against hexadecyl trimethylammonium bromide (Cetavlon), by demonstration of iridescence, and by means of a capsule-staining method.
