CONT

Les optodes sont des détecteurs qui interviennent comme des transducteurs entre l'analyse à mesurer et une fibre optique. Le terme «optode», plus euphonique que l'alternatif «optrode», dérive par contraction de l'anglo-saxon OPTical electrODE, bien que son principe de fonctionnement n'ait rien à voir avec l'électrométrie.
