adj. C1 Advanced ab·sorp·tio·met·ric
adj. relating to the way a substance takes in or absorbs light or other forms of energy. Scientists use this to measure how much light passes through a material.
adj. relating to the measurement of the absorption of electromagnetic radiation by a substance. Often used in the context of spectroscopy or analytical chemistry.
The lab uses absorptiometric methods to test the samples.
Researchers used absorptiometric analysis to determine the concentration of heavy metals in the water samples.
The absorptiometric properties of the new polymer allow it to filter out specific wavelengths of light, making it ideal for use in high-precision optical filters.
