  2. Interference colour chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interference_colour_chart

    Michel-Lévy interference colour chart issued by Zeiss Microscopy. In optical mineralogy, an interference colour chart, also known as the Michel-Levy chart, is a tool first developed by Auguste Michel-Lévy to identify minerals in thin section using a petrographic microscope.

  3. Retardation factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retardation_factor

    An R F value will always be in the range 0 to 1; if the substance moves, it can only move in the direction of the solvent flow, and cannot move faster than the solvent. For example, if particular substance in an unknown mixture travels 2.5 cm and the solvent front travels 5.0 cm, the retardation factor would be 0.50.

  4. Smith chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_chart

    Using the Smith chart, the normalised impedance may be obtained with appreciable accuracy by plotting the point representing the reflection coefficient treating the Smith chart as a polar diagram and then reading its value directly using the characteristic Smith chart scaling. This technique is a graphical alternative to substituting the values ...

  5. HSL and HSV - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSL_and_HSV

    Fig. 1. HSL (a–d) and HSV (e–h). Above (a, e): cut-away 3D models of each. Below: two-dimensional plots showing two of a model's three parameters at once, holding the other constant: cylindrical shells (b, f) of constant saturation, in this case the outside surface of each cylinder; horizontal cross-sections (c, g) of constant HSL lightness or HSV value, in this case the slices halfway ...

  6. Chlorophyll a - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorophyll_a

    Chlorophyll a in the reaction center is the only pigment to pass boosted electrons to an acceptor (modified from 2). Absorption of light by photosynthetic pigments converts photons into chemical energy. Light energy radiating onto the chloroplast strikes the pigments in the thylakoid membrane and excites their

  7. CIE 1931 color space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIE_1931_color_space

    A color space maps a range of physically produced colors from mixed light, pigments, etc. to an objective description of color sensations registered in the human eye, typically in terms of tristimulus values, but not usually in the LMS color space defined by the spectral sensitivities of the cone cells.

  8. Munsell color system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munsell_color_system

    The Munsell color system, showing: a circle of hues at value 5 chroma 6; the neutral values from 0 to 10; and the chromas of purple-blue (5PB) at value 5. In colorimetry , the Munsell color system is a color space that specifies colors based on three properties of color: hue (basic color), value ( lightness ), and chroma (color intensity).

  9. Photosynthetic pigment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthetic_pigment

    A photosynthetic pigment (accessory pigment; chloroplast pigment; antenna pigment) is a pigment that is present in chloroplasts or photosynthetic bacteria and captures the light energy necessary for photosynthesis. List of photosynthetic pigments (in order of increasing polarity): Carotene: an orange pigment; Xanthophyll: a yellow pigment
