Cooking until clear or transparent.
objects that allow some light to pass through but diffuse or scatter in the process. A clear image is not visible through this object.
able to transfer some light, but the light is distorted (paper is an example)
Able to see through the paint, but not clearly.
a material that transmits light even though you cannot see through it
Permits a percentage of light to pass but not optically clear like window glass.
A property of materials that allows some light to pass through; some of the light that strikes a translucent object is absorbed and reflected while some passes through. A tinted window is an example of a translucent object.
The property of allowing some light to pass through a material.
Transmitting light but causing sufficient diffusion to eliminate perception of distinct images; intermediate between clear and opaque.
The property of transmission of light that diffuses it.
Descriptive term for a material or substance capable of transmitting some light but not clear enough to see through.
allows light to pass through. Detecting translucent objects is often best done with retroreflective scan, during which the light must pass through the object twice, thereby causing more of a signal change (larger signal ratio).
Term used to describe any product that lets SOME light filter though it, like the Hunter Douglas Duette classic and the Graber Crystal Pleat.
As a jewelry term, this applies to a gemstone that allows light to pass through the stone but with enough diffusion to prevent the ability to see distinct images through the stone. A moonstone is a translucent stone.
Describing something that is able to transmit light but not fully. Objects can be seen through a translucent object, but they will be unclear.
Describes something that light can pass through but you can't see all the way through. Usually the surface is a bit shiny and the guts only show through a little bit
able to let light pass though.
When a material allows some of the light beams hitting it to pass through (eg: frosted glass)
Transmits light diffusely.
shining or glowing through. Admitting and diffusing light so that objects beyond cannot be clearly distinguished. When referring to FIMO® - 00 Art Translucent, the sheerest clay which when used in thin layers or buffed, is almost clear.
Clear, such that one can see through the item. A window is translucent.
Shining or glowing through; partly transparent.
Description of a gem material that allows some light to be transmitted through it but does not allow total visibility.
A surface that light and objects can be perceived through, but not clearly made out.
Said of a substance through which light will pass, but through which an image cannot be clearly seen.
Transmits light, but is not transparent. Treeline The northern limit (or elevation in mountains) where trees can grow.
Refers to materials that allow light to pass through them although the light is diffused
A quality of a gemstone transmitting light imperfectly so that one cannot see through the stone clearly. Star sapphire is an example of this quality.
Clear enough to let light pass through
Quality if a material that allow light to pass through
allowing the passage of light, but not transparent
Allows light to pass through but not clear enough to see through.
It is a term used to describe an object which transmits light, but partly. Objects placed in front of it will be seen, but not in clear form.
Allowing light to pass through; having a glowing appearance as if light were coming through.
An absence of leaf tissue pigments that results in the diffusion of light, giving the plant an off-white color.
Slightly shaded however visibility to the other side can be seen however not with total clarity. Between opaque and transparent.
Transmitting light but diffusing it sufficiently to cause images to become blurred.
Permitting passage of light, but diffusing it to such a degree that objects cannot be seen clearly; something short of transparent.
allowing some light to pass through; objects seen through translucent material are diffused or indistinct.
Allowing diffused light to pass through. Although light can pass through, objects cannot clearly be seen through a translucent item.
Material that transmits light in a diffused manner so that objects cannot be clearly seen through it.
able to allow some light to transmit some but not all light.
a material that allows some light to pass through but scatters the light in the process so that images are not clear (i.e. frosted glass)
a translucent material is one that transmits light but you cannot see through it
Transmitting light diffusely or imperfectly.
Those substances, such as frosted glass, through which some light rays can pass but through which objects cannot be seen clearly.
Transmitting light but obscuring clear vision.
Passing light imperfectly through a gemstone; blurry or cloudy.
Semitransparent, light can be seen through material. Close Window
Letting light through, but murky and not transparent (especially of exudates etc.). Parent Term: Gland_dots Difficulty Level
A stone through which light passes but is not transparent (for example, moonstone).
Somewhat penetrable by rays of light.
The property of a substrate, vinyl, paint, or ink to allow the passage of some light through it without being transparent. Internally illuminated signs rely on translucent paints and vinyls.
Having the ability to transmit light but not a clear image.
Allowing light, but not images, to pass through.
Shrink film that allows the passage of light, but diffusing the light so that any product wrapped in the film it is not readily distinguished.
Allowing light to pass through, but not transparent.
Letting light through without being transparent.
Letting light pass through while diffusing it.
permitting the passage of light, but diffusing it so that objects beyond cannot be clearly distinguished.
A coating which admits some light; between opaque and transparent.
The ability of a material to allow the passage of some light to pass through itself.
The property of a substrate, ink or paint to allow the passage of some light through it without being transparent.
Letting light pass through, but not transparent
pale in color and allowing light to pass through, almost transparent.
A substance which allows light to pass through, but does not allow objects to be seen clearly through it.
Allowing light to pass through, but preventing the clear viewing of images.
Allowing light to pass through diffusely.
Diffuse transmission of light through a surface that is not smooth
Translucent materials allow light to pass through them, but the light is diffused (scattered). Some translucent stones include moonstones, opals, and carnelian. Lucite and other plastics can also be translucent.
A translucent material allows some light that hits it to pass through and emerge from the other side.
Descriptive of a material or substance capable of transmitting some light, but not clear enough to be seen through.
Diffuse transmission of light. No clear image can be seen.
