A specialized instrument designed to measure the concentration or amount of hematin in blood samples.
From 'hematin' + Greek '-meter' (measure). This term was developed when chemistry advanced enough to quantify specific blood components precisely.
This is a super specialized instrument that you'd rarely see used today because modern blood tests use completely different technology, but it was cutting-edge science in the late 1800s!
