Morphology
quantometer = quantum (opaque) = quanto + meter
The word appears to be built from a technical clipped/combining form related to 'quantum' plus '-meter', but the specialized instrument meaning is not straightforward for an average learner.
Etymology
The word quantometer starts with quant-, from a Latin word meaning 'amount' or 'how much', and ends with -meter, which means 'measure' and appears in words like thermometer and speedometer. So a quantometer is a device that measures how much of different substances are in a sample.
