What's the difference between curvimeter and opisometer?
Curvimeter
Definition:
Example Sentences:
(1) By application of of Jacobj's linear method and Lange's curvimeter-planimeter method, these approximation formulas are used to calculate the surface areas with identical semi-axis and diameter values being inserted, and the results are compared with each other and the true values.
(2) Morphological measurements were made using a microscope fitted with micrometer and camera, as well as map curvimeter.
Opisometer
