| metric | 1. Relating to measurement; involving, or proceeding by, measurement. 2. Of or pertaining to the meter as a standard of measurement; of or pertaining to the decimal system of measurement of which a meter is the unit; as, the metric system; a metric measurement. <chemistry> Metric analysis, analysis by volume; volumetric analysis. Metric system, a system of weights and measures originating in France, the use of which is required by law in many countries, and permitted in many others, including the United States and England. The principal unit is the meter (see Meter). From this are formed the are, the liter, the stere, the gram, etc. These units, and others derived from them, are divided decimally, and larger units are formed from multiples by 10, 100, 1,000, and 10,000. The successive multiplies are designated by the prefixes, deca-, hecto-, kilo-, and myria-; successive parts by deci-, centi-, and milli-. The prefixes mega- and micro- are sometimes used to denote a multiple by one million, and the millionth part, respectively. See the words formed with these prefixes in the Vocabulary. For metric tables, see p. 1682. Origin: L. Metricus, Gr., cf. F. Metrique. See Meter rhythm. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| metric system | A system of weights and measures, universal for scientific use, based upon the meter, which was originally intended to be one ten-millionth of a quadrant of the earth's meridian and now is based on the length that light travels in a vacuum in a given period of time (see meter). Prefixes of the meter (and other standards) reflect either fractions or multiples of the meter and are identical to the International System of Units (see International System of Units). The unit of weight is the gram, which is the weight of one cubic centimeter of water, equivalent to 15.432358 grains. The unit of volume is the liter or one cubic decimeter, equal to 1.056688 U.S. Liquid quarts; a cubic centimeter is about 16.23073 U.S. Minims. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metric ton | (or tonne) 1000 kilograms. 1 metric ton = 2,204.62 lb = 1.023 short tons. (05 Dec 1998) |
| direct ophthalmoscopy | Ophthalmoscopy performed with a direct ophthalmoscope. (05 Mar 2000) |
| indirect ophthalmoscopy | Ophthalmoscopy performed with an indirect ophthalmoscope. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ophthalmoscopy | <procedure> Observation of the optic disc, retina and blood vessels. May be examined by direct or indirect ophthalmoscopy. In direct ophthalmoscopy the examiner uses an ophthalmoscope the size of a flashlight to shine a beam of light into your eye. In indirect ophthalmoscopy a head lamp device is used and a much brighter light. Visualisation of the retina is important in conditions such as glaucoma, diabetes, hypertension and conditions that cause increased intracranial pressure. (27 Sep 1997) |
| ophthalmoscopy with reflected light | Examination of that part of the fundus adjacent to an area illuminated by a sharply focused light. (05 Mar 2000) |
| electro-metric | Pertaining to electrometry; made by means of electrometer; as, an electrometrical experiment. Origin: Cf. F. Electrometrique. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| metric ophthalmoscopy |
1. The use of ophthalmoscopy to determine the refractive error of the lens of the eye. 2. The use of ophthalmoscopy to measure the height of the head of the optic nerve in cases of papilledema.
