An optical instrument used to measure the aperture or opening of a lens or optical system.
From Latin 'apertum' (opening) + Greek 'metron' (measure). A technical term combining root words for opening and measurement.
Apertometers are crucial in photography and microscopy—they precisely measure how much light a lens can gather, which determines the image quality you can achieve.
