Magnetometric
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to, or employed in, the measurement of magnetic forces; obtained by means of a magnetometer; as, magnetometric instruments; magnetometric measurements.
Example Sentences:
(1) By the magnetometric method proposed earlier, changes in the energy of the movements of the intracellular structures and also that of the apparent viscosity of the cytoplasm were estimated.
