/ɔːˈtɛkəˌskoʊp/ noun

A rare or obsolete scientific instrument designed to measure or observe something about sound or resonance (from Greek roots meaning 'self-sound-viewer').

From Greek autos 'self' + echo 'sound' + skopein 'to view/examine.' This is a technical neologism that never gained wide use in scientific practice.
