Root Explanation

Cytophotometric → It is formed from "cyto-" (from Greek "kytos", meaning cell) and "photometric" (from Greek "photos", meaning light, and "metron", meaning measure). The word refers to the measurement of light in relation to cells.

Memory Tip

Think of 'cells' ('cyto-') being measured by 'light' ('photo') — that's what cytophotometric means.
