35
# osmometer
- Actual measure is dew point (temperature at which water vapor condenses to a liquid)
- Microsamples on small filter-paper disks in sealed chamber; evaporating sample forms vapor
- Temperature lowered, vapor condenses, thermocoupler measures heat of condensation that raised temperature to dew point.
- Requires careful technique because of microsamples
