Wait, so a geometer measures ges, an odometer measures ods, and a kilometer

Dear Ed,
to me, an '-ometer' is a device that measures whatever you put in
front of the 'o', so in case of a diffractometer that's a device that
measures diffraction.
Best,
Tim

Somewhere I got the idea that a diffractometer is an instrument
that measures one reflection at a time. Is that the case, and if so
what is the term for instruments like rotation camera, weisenberg,
area detector? (What is an area detector?).
Logically I guess a diffractometer could be anything that measures
diffraction, and that seems to be view of the wikipedia article of
that name. eab
