Cytometry
The etymology comes from the meaning of kytos which means hollow vessel in Greek. Therefore, flow cytometer refers to a specific way of measuring cells. However, the hollow vessel image is also appropriate for extracellular vesicles, and therefore nanoFCM, for example, is still a good name.
