Definition
An instrument or device used to measure the rate or amount of growth in living organisms or biological processes.
Etymology
From Greek 'auxanein' (to grow) + '-metron' (measure). Combined in scientific nomenclature to describe tools that quantify growth, becoming standard terminology in 19th-century biological laboratories.
Kelly Says
Early plant scientists used auxanometers—essentially rulers with time-lapse observation—and discovered that plant roots grow downward even in darkness, revealing that growth isn't random but directed by hidden forces (auxins).
