1. an instrument that measures the intensity of fluorescence emitted by a substance when exposed to light
Usage: scientific

Examples

• The laboratory technician used a fluorometer to analyze the water samples.
• Scientists calibrated the fluorometer before measuring chlorophyll concentrations.
• The fluorometer detected trace amounts of the fluorescent dye in the solution.
• Marine biologists rely on fluorometers to study phytoplankton in ocean water.
• The new fluorometer provides more accurate readings than the older model.
• Researchers adjusted the fluorometer settings for optimal sensitivity.
