Translucent
Definition:

Transmissive
Definition:
(a.) Capable of being transmitted; derived, or handed down, from one to another.
Example Sentences:
(1) The present results provide no evidence for a clear morphological substrate for electrotonic transmission in the somatic efferent portion of the primate oculomotor nucleus.
(2) It has been shown by LM and transmission electron microscopy that cells with blebs are viable and capable of mitotic activity.
(3) The presently available data allow us to draw the following conclusions: 1) G proteins play a mediatory role in the transmission of the signal(s) generated upon receptor occupancy that leads to the observed cytoskeletal changes.
(4) The transmission of alcoholism and its effects are thereby lessened for future generations of children of alcoholics.
(5) Transmission electron microscopy demonstrated that these blebs were devoid of organelles and microvilli; scanning electron microscopy revealed that the blebs were highly wrinkled and more numerous than were the projections observed in tissue from animals treated with testosterone alone, or in tissue from unoperated controls.
