An instrument used to measure the color concentration of blood or the amount of hemoglobin in a blood sample.
From 'hemochrome' (blood pigment) plus '-meter' (measuring device); a 19th-century medical instrument that helped doctors quantify anemia and blood health.
The hemochromometer was a breakthrough diagnostic tool—before it, doctors could only guess at how much hemoglobin a patient had; now it's replaced by more precise electronic devices!
