What's the difference between dimetric and tetragonal?
Dimetric
Definition:
(a.) Same as Tetragonal.
Example Sentences:
(1) Chromatographic studies on early hGH preparations revealed the presence of dimetric, trimetric and aggregated hormone as well as small quantities of prolactin.
Tetragonal
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to a tetragon; having four angles or sides; thus, the square, the parallelogram, the rhombus, and the trapezium are tetragonal fingers.
(a.) Having four prominent longitudinal angles.
(a.) Designating, or belonging to, a certain system of crystallization; dimetric. See Tetragonal system, under Crystallization.
