Semen is produced and originates from the seminal vesicle, which is located in the pelvis. The process that results in the discharge of semen is called ejaculation. Semen is also a form of genetic material. In animals, semen has been collected for cryoconservation. Cryoconservation of animal genetic resources is a practice that calls for the collection of genetic material in efforts for conservation of a particular breed.
Luminance is a derived measure, expressed in Candela per square metre (\( cd / m^2 \)). An alias for the unit \( cd / m^2 \) (unofficial, but still commonly used) is Nit. Luminance and illumination (Lux) are related, in the sense that luminance is typically used for light-emitting surfaces and illumination for surfaces that are being lit.
The human eye can detect a luminance range of 10 14, or one hundred trillion (100,000,000,000,000) (about 46.5 f-stops), from 10 â6 cd/m 2, or one millionth (0.000001) of a candela per square meter to 10 8 cd/m 2 or one hundred million (100,000,000) candelas per square meter.
