"What is ""color saturation""?" What is color saturation? Color saturation refers to how vivid and intense a color is. For example, a display with poor color saturation will look washed out or faded. When a color's saturation level is reduced to 0, it becomes a shade of gray.

Supersaturation From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Supersaturation is a state of a solution that contains more of the dissolved material than could be dissolved by the solvent under normal circumstances. It can also refer to a vapor of a compound that has a higher (partial) pressure than the vapor pressure of that compound. 1 Preparation.

Supersaturation Supersaturation is a state of a solution that contains more of the dissolved material than could be dissolved by the solvent under normal circumstances.It can also refer to a vapor of a compound that has a higher (partial) pressure than the vapor pressure of that compound.pecial conditions need to be met in order to generate a supersaturated solution. One of the easiest ways to do this relies on the temperature dependence of solubility. As a general rule, the more heat is added to a system, the more soluble a substance becomes.

Transferrin saturation (December 2009) Transferrin saturation, measured as a percentage, is a medical laboratory value. It is the value of serum iron divided by the total iron-binding capacity. Of the transferrin that is available to bind iron, this value tells a clinician how much serum iron is bound.

Oxygen saturation (medicine) Oxygen saturation is a term referring to the fraction of oxygen-saturated hemoglobin relative to total hemoglobin (unsaturated + saturated) in the blood. The human body requires and regulates a very precise and specific balance of oxygen in the blood. Normal blood oxygen levels in humans are considered 95-100 percent. If the level is below 90 percent, it is considered low resulting in hypoxemia. Blood oxygen levels below 80 percent may compromise organ function, such as the brain and heart, and should be promptly addressed.

Oxygen saturation In medicine, oxygen saturation refers to oxygenation, or when oxygen molecules (O 2) enter the tissues of the body. In this case blood is oxygenated in the lungs, where oxygen molecules travel from the air and into the blood.

saturation Saturation means holding as much moisture as possible. When you water your houseplants, you may soak them until the soil around each plant reaches saturation. The noun saturation means the act of completely soaking something until it's absorbed as much water as it can. Imagine a sponge that can't get any more wet, and you'll have an idea of what saturation means. When you're talking about art, saturation means the amount of bright, undiluted color in a painting or photograph, usually colors that are quite intense and unshaded.

Oxygen saturation (medicine) 1 Venous oxygen saturation (SvO 2) is measured to see how much oxygen the body consumes. 2  Under clinical treatment, a SvO 2 below 60% indicates that the body is in lack of oxygen, and ischemic diseases occur.n medicine, oxygen saturation (SO 2), commonly referred to as sats, measures the percentage of hemoglobin binding sites in the bloodstream occupied by oxygen. At low partial pressures of oxygen, most hemoglobin is deoxygenated.
