1 hr confidence:
look-through Explanation: According to Termium, this is used both as an adjective and a noun, as an alternative to "formation", which it describes as: "...the property of paper which relates to the uniformity of distribution of the fibers in the sheet structure." I don't know if either of these would stand up though, in your first context, although "look-through characteristics" would probably work. |
