isotype
Secondary type specimen
Isotype has several technical meanings across different fields, all sharing the idea of things that share a type or form.
In immunology, isotypes are the different classes of antibodies (like IgG or IgM) distinguished by their heavy chain structure.
In crystallography, isotypes are compounds with the same crystal structure but different chemical compositions.
In data visualization, isotype refers to a method using repeated identical symbols to represent quantities, developed in the 1930s.
