Soft tissues are highly scattering but weakly absorbing in the near-infrared and red parts of the spectrum, so that this is the wavelength range usually used.

Carter could keep them in orbit, if necessary, until their tissues have fully absorbed the analog.

Plants appear the color green to us because their tissues absorb all but the band of wavelengths we call greens or yellows (depending on the plant).

Many of them seemed simply too far gone from the radiation their delicate and extraordinarily complex neural tissues had absorbed.

The parts of your body appear light or dark due to the different rates that your tissues absorb the X-rays.

Fat and other soft tissues absorb less, and look gray.

Under the sharp hiss of the pressurized needle, Pucky's tissue absorbed the narcotic.

In medical physics, the optical window is the portion of the visible and infrared spectrum where living tissue absorbs relatively little light.

Fast tissues absorb gas relatively quickly, but will release it quickly during ascent.

A fast tissue may become saturated in the course of a normal sports dive, while a slow tissue may hardly have absorbed any gas.
