  • The enumeration of alpha particles is done by an electrometric method due to Rutherford; this method has been brought to perfection by means of a photographic recording apparatus.

  • They are identifiable either by the electrometric method, or very simply by the impression they produce on a photographic plate.

    Marie Curie - Nobel Lecture 1966

  • Radioactive analysis by electrometric methods allows us to calculate to within 1% a thousandth of a milligram of radium, and to detect the presence of 10-10 grams of radium diluted in a few grams of material.

    Marie Curie - Nobel Lecture 1966

  • (Fig. 2), in which the fine wire that served as an electrometric needle was of magnetized steel suspended by a cotton thread.

  • We had been obliged to start them in an abandoned storeroom across a court from the workroom where we had our electrometric installation.

  • During the course of their experiments on piezo-electricity the Curies were obliged to employ electrometric apparatus, and, not being able to use the quadrant electrometer known at that time, they developed a new form of that instrument, better adapted to their necessities.

  • Radioactive analysis by electrometric methods allows us to calculate to within 1% a thousandth of a milligram of radium, and to detect the presence of 10-10 grams of radium diluted in a few grams of material.
