Spectrometer, Spectroscope, and Spectrograph Spectrometer, Spectroscope, and Spectrograph. A spectrometer is any instrument used to probe a property of light as a function of its portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, typically its wavelength, frequency, or energy. The property being measured is usually intensity of light, but other variables like polarization can also be measured.

Potometer A potometer (from Greek ποτό = drunken, and μέτρο = measure) —sometimes known as a transpirometer — is a device used for measuring the rate of water uptake of a leafy shoot. The causes of water uptake are photosynthesis and transpiration. Everything must be completely water tight so that no leakage of water occurs. The potometer measures the rate of uptake of water. 2  To measure transpiration rate directly, rather than the rate of water uptake, utilize a scientific instrument which quantifies water transfer at the leaves. 3  The water retained by plant is so negligible that it can be neglected.

Chromatography Chromatography (/ˌkroʊməˈtɒɡrəfi/ ; from Greek χρῶμα chroma which means color and γράφειν graphein to write) is the collective term for a set of laboratory techniques for the separation of mixtures.he purpose of preparative chromatography is to separate the components of a mixture for more advanced use (and is thus a form of purification). Analytical chromatography is done normally with smaller amounts of material and is for measuring the relative proportions of analytes in a mixture.

Cystoscopy Cystoscopy (si-ˈstäs-kə-pē) is endoscopy of the urinary bladder via the urethra. It is carried out with a cystoscope. The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. The cystoscope has lenses like a telescope or microscope. These lenses let the physician focus on the inner surfaces of the urinary tract.

Cystoscopy & Ureteroscopy Cystoscopy and ureteroscopy are common procedures performed by a urologist to look inside the urinary tract. A urologist is a doctor who specializes in urinary tract problems. Cystoscopy. Cystoscopy uses a cystoscope to look inside the urethra and bladder. A cystoscope is a long, thin optical instrument with an eyepiece at one end, a rigid or flexible tube in the middle, and a tiny lens and light at the other end of the tube.
