In spectroscopy and fluorometry, the range of wavelengths emitted by a substance.  

Variation in the performance of a diagnostic test due to its application to people of differing ages, genders, nationalities, or specific disease manifestations. A test’s sensitivity and specificity may increase or decrease, depending on the population to which it is applied.  

The branch of physical science that treats the phenomena observed with the spectroscope, or those principles on which the action is based.  

A device for measuring the rotation of light rays of a specific wavelength by passage through a translucent solid.  

Ail estimation of coloring matter in a solution by use of the spectroscope or spectrophotometer.  

Determination of materials in a compound by measuring the amount of light they absorb in the infrared, visible, or ultraviolet region of the spectrum.  

The process of determining the wavelength of light rays by use of a spectrometer. The discipline involving the utilization of a spectrometer.  

An instrument that measures the degree and frequencies of fluorescence of compounds in chemical reactions or in solution.  

A device for detecting color blindness by isolating a single spectral color.  

An intracellular, calcium-dependent contractile protein that helps maintain the structure and shape of cells, especially red blood cells.
