Morphology
radiomicrometer = micrometer (semi-transparent) = radio + micro + meter
It is most naturally interpreted as micrometer with the prefix radio- added, but the resulting scientific instrument name is technical.
Etymology
The word radiomicrometer breaks into radio- 'ray' as in radiation, micro- 'small', and -meter 'measure', like radiation, microchip, and thermometer. So, a radiomicrometer is a very small, highly sensitive instrument that measures tiny amounts of radiation, like weak light or heat.
