A device used to measure the vibratory sensation threshold. It is particularly useful in judging the progression or remission of peripheral neuropathy.

An apparatus for determining the viscosity of a fluid; in medicine, usually of the blood.

1. The feeding of vitamins to make an individual vigorous or to purportedly prevent or cure a disease.
2. A process of taking or giving vitamins.

1. An instrument used to measure differences of electric potential, commonly called voltage, in volts or units that are multiples or fractions of volts.
2. A tool that measures electrical voltage; for example, the potential difference between two points.
3. A device; such as, a galvanometer, that measures in volts the differences in potential between different points of an electrical circuit.
3. A device that measures voltages of either direct or alternating electric current on a scale usually graduated in volts; such as, millivolts or kilovolts.

The typical commercial or laboratory standard voltmeter currently in use probably employs an electromechanical mechanism in which current flowing through turns of wire is translated into the reading of the voltage.

Another type of voltmeter includes uses electrostatic fores and is the only voltmeter to measure voltage directly instead of by the effect of current.

A metric unit of distance equal to 10²⁴ meters or 10²¹ kilometers. One yottameter equals 32.408 megaparsecs (Mpc) or 105.7 million light years.

It is said that we probably do not need a longer distance unit term than the "yottameter", because the radius of the observable universe is not more than about 200 yottameters.

One zettameter is said to be approximately the radius of the Milky Way galaxy.

The branch of zoology that deals with the sizes and proportions of animals: Greg's father was involved in zoometry, or the statistical methods of measuring and comparing the lengths of animals and their parts.

A device for measuring the degree of fermentation; zymosimeter: The zymometer is an instrument to determine the efficiency of the breakdown of organic substances of yeast into smaller ones by calculating the amount of carbon dioxide produced from a certain amount of sugar.

An instrument used to measure the extent of fermentation: A zymosimeter is used in order to determine the degree of organic substances breaking down into smaller ones caused by the mixture of various fluids and the degree of heat necessary for this process.
