ChristologyA field of study within Christian theology which is concerned with the nature of Jesus Christ, particularly with how the divine and human are related in his person.
chromaffinomaAny tumor that contains chromaffin cells.
chromagenAny compound, such as heme, that forms a biological pigment when attached to a protein
chromagramA graphic representation of the notes of a scale
chromakeyThe use of a particular color, usually either green or blue) as a key in a studio in order to allow one image to be seamlessly partially superimposed upon another.
chromakeyerA device for producing chromakey effects.
chromalveolateA grouping of eukaryotes, of the taxon Chromalveolata, comprising the Chromista and the alveolates.
chromameterAn instrument that is used to evaluate the colour of surfaces
chromaneA bicyclic heterocycle in which a benzene ring is fused to one of dihydro-pyran; it is the base unit of tocopherols
chromanolany of a class of bicyclic heterocycles formed by ring-closure from substituted quinones; examples with isoprene sidechains are the basis of numerous naturally occurring compounds, such as tocopherol
chromanoneAny of several isomeric bicyclic heterocyclic ketones derived from chromane; any of many derivatives of these compounds
chromascopeAny of a variety of instruments for showing the optical effects of colour.
chromateany salt of chromic acid; in solution the yellow chromate anion (CrO₄²⁻) is in equilibrium with the orange dichromate anion (Cr₂O₇²⁻), the relative amount of each ion depending on the pH; they are both very powerful oxidizing agents
chromatographyAny of various techniques for the qualitative or quantitative separation of the components of mixtures of compounds; all characterized by the use of a mobile phase (gas or liquid) moving relative to a stationary phase (liquid or solid) – the differences between the rates of migration of the compounds between the two phases affect the separation.
chromatophorotropicRelating to the attraction of a chromatophore to a tissue
chromatoplasmThe part of cytoplasm that contains pigment.
chromatoplateA coated plate used in thin-layer chromatography
chromatopsiaA visual aberration in which objects appear abnormally coloured, such as xanthopsia or cyanopia.
chromatoptometerAn instrument for measuring the subject's perception of colour.
chromatoscannerAn optical device that is used to scan an object at multiple wavelengths
chromatoscopeA reflecting telescope, part of which is made to rotate eccentrically, so as to produce a ringlike image of a star, instead of a point; used in studying the scintillation of the stars.
chromatosisPigmentation, especially unusual pigmentation of human or animal tissue.
chromatosomeA structural unit of a nucleoprotein consisting of a nucleosome bound to chromatin
chromatotronA device used in radial chromatography in which solvent is added to the center of a covered silica layered plate which spins to drive a sample outward forming sample spots of different compounds as concentric rings.
chromatotrophinAny of a group of hormones responsible for colour change in some crabs
chromatropeAn instrument for exhibiting certain chromatic effects of light by means of rapidly rotating disks of various colours.
