Fluorometry versus fluorimetry

Respirometry and fluorometry

Although it appears to be equally valid to use fluorometry or fluorimetry in any arbitrary context, perhaps there is a specific reason to favour fluorometry in the context of respirometry.

Discussion

  • David Harrison 2011-11-21: I have always preferred fluorometry. If one looks to the field of radiology, fluoroscopy is a widely used technique - there is no such word as fluoriscopy, nor is there a fluoriphore. For consistency I think we should go for fluorometry.
  • Anthony Hickey 2011-11-20: Just looked up fluorimetry, seems to most be fluorometry mostly so I would go with the latter!
