Fluorometry versus fluorimetry

Respirometry and fluorometry

Although it appears to be equally valid to use fluorometry or fluorimetry in any arbitrary context, perhaps there is a specific reason to favour fluorometry in the context of respirometry.

Statistics

  • In Pubmed (2011-11-19), there is a dominance of the term Spectrofluorometry:
164084 and 164775 hits for Fluorometry versus Fluorimetry;
774 and 249 hits for Fluorometer versus Fluorimeter;
61583 and 588 hits for Spectrofluorometry and Spectrofluorimetry;
367 and 167 hits for Spectrofluorometer and Spectrofluorimeter.


  • In Google (2011-11-19), there is a dominance of the term Fluorometry (but the number of hits appears to vary from time to time):
668,000 and 375,000 hits for Fluorometry versus Fluorimetry;
462,000 and 510,000 hits for Fluorometer versus Fluorimeter;
46,600 and 148,000 hits for Spectrofluorometry and Spectrofluorimetry;
166,000 and 163,000 hits for Spectrofluorometer and Spectrofluorimeter.


  • In Wikipedia (2011-11-19), there is a redirect from fluorimeter to fluorometer.

Discussion

  • David Harrison 2011-11-21: I have always preferred fluorometry. If one looks to the field of radiology, fluoroscopy is a widely used technique - there is no such word as fluoriscopy, nor is there a fluoriphore. For consistency I think we should go for fluorometry.
