Surface Forms

stalogometer singular
stalogometers plural

Morphology

stalogometer = meter (opaque) = stalo + meter

The measuring-device meaning depends on a specialized combining form before '-meter' that is not transparent to an average B1 learner.

Etymology

Stalogometer comes from a part that means 'drop' and the ending -meter, which means 'measure' and also appears in thermometer. So a stalogometer is a lab tool that measures a liquid's surface tension by counting drops.
