  2. Oil immersion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_immersion

    In light microscopy, oil immersion is a technique used to increase the resolving power of a microscope. This is achieved by immersing both the objective lens and the specimen in a transparent oil of high refractive index, thereby increasing the numerical aperture of the objective lens.

  3. Glaze (painting technique) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaze_(painting_technique)

    The medium, base, or vehicle is the mixture to which the dry pigment is added. Different media can increase or decrease the rate at which oil paints dry. Often, because a paint is too opaque, painters will add a medium like linseed oil or alkyd to the paint to make them more transparent and pliable for the purposes of glazing.

  4. Oil painting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_painting

    Mona Lisa was created by Leonardo da Vinci using oil paints during the Renaissance period in the 15th century. Oil painting is a painting method involving the procedure of painting with pigments combined with a drying oil as the binder. It has been the most common technique for artistic painting on canvas, wood panel or copper for several ...

    GIF animation of an Apollonian sphere packing with transparent background. Transparency in computer graphics is possible in a number of file formats.The term "transparency" is used in various ways by different people, but at its simplest there is "full transparency" i.e. something that is completely invisible.

    In light microscopy, oil immersion is a technique used to increase the resolution of a microscope.This is achieved by immersing both the objective lens and the specimen in a transparent oil of high refractive index, thereby increasing the numerical aperture of the objective lens.

  7. Transparency and translucency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_and_translucency

    Photons interact with an object by some combination of reflection, absorption and transmission. Some materials, such as plate glass and clean water, transmit much of the light that falls on them and reflect little of it; such materials are called optically transparent. Many liquids and aqueous solutions are highly transparent.

  8. Ground (art) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_(art)

    The oil painting becomes more transparent with age, so to avoid a gradual brightening of the picture, a pale beige color of ground is considered neutral. [4] White ground provides the greatest freedom of choice for colors, while colored grounds reduce the color range and force the use of more opaque paint application. [1]

  9. Cloud point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_point

    The test oil is required to be transparent in layers 40 mm in thickness (in accordance with ASTM D2500). The wax crystals typically first form at the lower circumferential wall with the appearance of a whitish or milky cloud. The cloud point is the temperature just above where these crystals first appear.
