A controlled environmental chamber used in laboratories to study the effects of specific environmental conditions on living organisms.
From Greek 'bios' (life) + '-tron' (a device or instrument). This term was coined in mid-20th century biology to describe specialized equipment that maintains precise environmental parameters for experimental research.
Scientists use biotrons to create artificial miniature worlds—controlling everything from temperature and humidity to light cycles—allowing them to study how organisms respond to specific conditions they'd never naturally encounter.
