An optical instrument or device for observing or examining flower structures and details; a flower-viewing apparatus.
From Latin flos (flower) combined with Greek skopein (to view or observe). The -scope suffix indicates an instrument for viewing, similar to microscope or telescope.
While floriscope isn't widely used today, early botanists created specialized optical devices to study flower anatomy—the principle led to modern stereo microscopes that revolutionized plant science.
