Morphology

cytophotometrically = cytophotometric (semi-transparent) = cyto + photo + metr + ic + ally

The adverb is formed by the regular addition of an adverbial suffix to the adjective 'cytophotometric'.

Etymology

Cytophotometrically comes from three parts: cyto- meaning 'cell', photo- meaning 'light', and -metry meaning 'measure', just like photograph (photo) and meter (measure). So, cytophotometrically means 'by measuring cells with light', which explains why scientists use it for methods that measure cell amounts or parts using light.
