What's the difference between diameter and pupillometer?
Diameter
Definition:

(n.) The length of a straight line through the center of an object from side to side; width; thickness; as, the diameter of a tree or rock.
(n.) The distance through the lower part of the shaft of a column, used as a standard measure for all parts of the order. See Module.
