1. an instrument that measures the intensity of fluorescent light emitted by a substance
Usage: scientific

Examples

• The laboratory technician calibrated the fluorimeter before testing the water samples.
• Scientists used a fluorimeter to measure chlorophyll concentrations in the algae.
• The fluorimeter detected trace amounts of the fluorescent dye in the solution.
• Marine biologists rely on fluorimeters to study phytoplankton in ocean water.
• The new fluorimeter provides more accurate readings than the older model.
• Researchers adjusted the fluorimeter settings to optimize detection sensitivity.
