FACS
Fluorescent cell sorting
FACS is an acronym with two primary meanings in professional contexts.
In biology and medicine, it stands for fluorescence-activated cell sorting, a technique for separating cells based on their properties.
In psychology and animation, it refers to the Facial Action Coding System, a method for categorizing human facial movements by muscle group: The animators used FACS to create realistic expressions.
