What's the difference between semitransparent and visibility?
Semitransparent
Definition:
(a.) Half or imperfectly transparent.
Example Sentences:

(8) It is emphasized that the retinal hamartomas of tuberous sclerosis seen in infancy are flat, semitransparent, and small.

(10) In 13 the graft remained clear, in 9 they became semitransparent and in two cases they became clouded.
(11) Confocal microscopy enables high-resolution imaging to be achieved below semitransparent surfaces in intact living specimens, but this may still be impractical for intraoral applications because of the need to stabilize the sample.
(12) After keratoplasty 11 disks remained transparent (45.8%), 10 disks became turbid (41.7%) and three disks semitransparent (12.5%).
(13) Short-circuit photocurrents produced by a semitransparent metallic electrode covered with multilayers of chlorophyll and immersed in an electrolyte have been studied.

(15) Confocal or scanning optical microscopes can make high resolution, thin, optical sections within semitransparent samples such as biological tissues.
(16) Owing to the "semitransparent display" function of the computer system, it was possible to observe the reconstructed membranous labyrinth through the simultaneously reconstructed osseous labyrinth, and the sensory organs through the membranous labyrinth.
(17) The criteria for a good viability of isolated cochlear hair cells were: 1. a smooth hair cell membrane; 2. hair cells not swollen; 3. the nucleus in the normal position; 4. the cytoplasm in a state of semitransparency with a halo at the periphery (birefringence) and 5. no Brownian movement of the organelles within the cytoplasm.
(18) A child of 9 months presented an iridial, semitransparent neoformation in the left eye, that protrudes from the anterior chamber to the posterior part of the cornea.
(19) Many specific characteristics, such as negligible antigenicity, semitransparency, sterilizability, good pain relief and low costs, have been associated with it.
Visibility
Definition:
(n.) The quality or state of being visible.
Example Sentences:
(1) Apparently, the irradiation with visible light of a low intensity creates an additional proton gradient and thus stimulates a new replication and division cycle in the population of cells whose membranes do not have delta pH necessary for the initiation of these processes.
(2) Photoreactions induced in that proper sensitizer molecules absorb UV-light or visible light.
(3) But do you know the thing that really bites?” he pointed to his home, which was not visible behind an overgrown hedge.
(4) The epididymis appeared distended but without any visible sperms.
(5) Stage E12 is characterized by the modifications of the CL fraction, particularly the beta-group; at this stage the first dendrites become visible.
(6) To determine the severity of regurgitation by dynamic MRI, several parameters were analyzed, including the number of slices with visible signal loss, the time course of the signal loss, and its maximal area and maximal volume.
(7) Visible light activates a large guanosine cyclic 3',5'-phosphate (cGMP)- and phosphodiesterase (PDE)-dependent infrared light-scattering change in suspensions of photoreceptor disk membranes.
(8) However, cytophotometric DNA analysis disclosed that significant increases in proliferative activity of mucosa had occurred 4 weeks before the appearance of histopathological dysplasia, and 8 weeks prior to development of grossly visible tumors.
(9) Patients in group A had smoother increases in oxygen uptake and core temperatures, greater cardiovascular stability as reflected by the rate-pressure product, and no visible shivering.
(10) The dried-specimen-teasing method appears useful, because of the ease of preparation of the specimens, its reproducibility, and the degree of visibility and preservation of cell surface structures and intraclonal relationships.
(11) 3) In Group D, B1 was visible in 19 out of 25 patients and in 18 patients out of these 19 patients, cancer invasion toward B1 was histopathologically confirmed.
(12) Use of sunglasses that block all ultraviolet radiation and severely attenuate high-energy visible radiation will slow the pace of ocular deterioration and delay the onset of age-related disease, thereby reducing its prevalence.
(13) Conventional follow-up of patients with colonic neoplasia will at best only identify symptomatic lesions and those visible with a sigmoidoscope, and will therefore fail to identify new malignant lesions in time for effective treatment.
(14) A planet with conditions that could support life orbits a twin neighbour of the sun visible to the naked eye, scientists have revealed.
(15) RR spectra of fatty acyl-CoA and its complexes are consistent with the previous hypothesis that visible spectral shifts observed during formation of acetoacetyl-CoA and crotonyl-CoA complexes of fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogenase result from charge-transfer interactions in which the ground state is essentially nonbonding as opposed to interactions in which complete electron transfer occurs to form FAD semiquinone.
(16) Both patients had high levels of circulating capsular polysaccharide, and one patient had visible diplococci on a smear of the peripheral blood.
