X-ray absorption-edge fine structure: When monochromatic X-ray beam shines through a thin film of an aqueous solution, different proportions of the energy of the X-ray are absorbed, depending on the photon energy of the beam and the nature of the atoms or ion present in the solution (e.g., K⁺). By expressing the ratio of the intensity of the inci-dent beam over that of the emerging transmitted beam at different photon energy, an X-ray absorption edge fine structure is obtained.

xylem: a complex tissue in the vascular system of higher plants that consists of vessels and long tubules with tapering blind ends called tracheids. Xylem functions chiefly in conduction but also in support and storage.

xylose: See D-xylose.
