/sɪnˈtɪləˌskoʊp/

Forms: 1800s– scintilloscope, 1900s– scintillascope (rare), 1900s– scintilliscope (now rare).

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: scintillation n., -o- connective, -scope comb. form.

Etymology: < scintill- (in scintillation n.) + -o- connective + -scope comb. form. Compare scintillometer n.

†1. Astronomy. An instrument for examining the scintillation of stars. Cf. scintillometer n. 2. Obsolete. rare.

1890 Ann. Rep. Board of Regents Smithsonian Inst. 1888 194 A careful examination of the meteorological conditions of any proposed site for a large telescope should be made, particularly with reference to the quality of the images of the stars. This can be done with a scintilloscope or more accurately with the scintillometer, for it is this scintillation or superposition of an infinite number of movable images that causes the unsatisfactory seeing so often encountered.

2. Physics. An instrument in which alpha rays are detected by the flashes of light which are emitted when they strike a fluorescent screen.

scintilloscope1904

1904 Nature 29 Sept. 535 The little instrument, which is called the ‘Scintilloscope’, consists of a simple magnifier of adjustable focus, as in the spinthariscope, but instead of the fixed screen and particle of radio-active substance a small double plate of glass is used.

1916 Yukon Territory (Canada Dept. Interior) 173 The scintilliscope is a much more convenient instrument.

1991 Pop. Mech. July 32/1 Nuclear detection technology, long a Los Alamos forté, came to the site that spring in the form of a handheld scintilliscope.

2004 D. Belkić Princ. Quantum Scattering Theory i. 26 The distance from the target to the detector (scintilloscope) was only 8 cm.
