molecular motor
A molecular motor refers to a nano-sized device composed of organic molecules or other small-scale components that can convert light energy into mechanical motion at the molecular level. These molecular motors operate based on principles of...
tristimulus colorimeter
phosphor persistence
The property of a phosphor that determines its ability to emit light for a time after the stimulus has been extinguished....
equal-energy white
A stimulus that contains equal energy at each wavelength in the visible region of the spectrum.
tristimulus integrator
A device used to produce numerical integrations for colorimetry.
resonator
A resonator is a device or system that exhibits resonance, which is a phenomenon that occurs when an external force or...
tristimulus integration
Computation of tristimulus values by integrating or summing, over the visible wavelength region, the product of the relative...
colorimeter
A colorimeter is a device used to measure and quantify the color characteristics of an object or a light source. It provides...
photoelectric colorimeter
A system having a photoelectric detector for the measurement of three quantities related by linear combination to...
threshold
1. In visual perception, the minimum value of stimulus that can be perceived on the average. 2. In optical detection...
chromaticity coordinates
Proportions of standard primaries (tristimulus values) required for a color match; ratios of each tristimulus value of a...
Weber's law
The law stating that the just-perceptible increment of stimulus is a constant fraction of the stimulus.
dilution
In chemistry, the addition of an inert substance to reduce the concentration of a species. In colorimetry, addition of white...
after-image
That image remaining on the detector after the primary stimulus has been removed. In the visual system, the after-image...
tristimulus values
The values of the three standard or matching stimuli necessary to provide a match with the light under trial, in a specified...
reference point
The point of a chromaticity diagram that represents the chromaticity of a reference stimulus.
color-defective vision
Situation in which the observer requires fewer than three independent stimuli to make color matches. Dichromats require only...
