What's the difference between photometer and photometry?

Photometer


Definition:

  • (n.) An instrument for measuring the intensity of light, or, more especially, for comparing the relative intensities of different lights, or their relative illuminating power.

  • (20) The amount of horse radish peroxidase labeled protein-A or anti-rat IgG bound to the antigen-antibody complexes is measured on the spectro photometer at wave length of 492 nm.

Photometry


Definition:

  • (n.) That branch of science which treats of the measurement of the intensity of light.

Example Sentences:
