AM350 Portable Leaf Area Meter
Portable Leaf Area Meter with image saving capability
Compact and portable leaf area meter suitable for the accurate, non-destructive measurement of leaf area and associated parameters. It allows the scanned image to be saved in memory for future review of data & measuring technique
The AM350 portable leaf area meter is an update of the very popular AM300 design. It provides a stored image of the scanned leaf for later review and reliable science. Designed for field use, it is battery operated and allows fast, non-destructive, and high resolution measurement. It measures: leaf area, accumulated area, mean area, length, width, perimeter, ratio, and shape factor. Data and images may be transferred in comma delineated format by USB port.
Parameters measured:
- Area
- Accumulated area
- Mean area
- Visible
- diseased leaf area or herbivory
- Length
- Width
- Perimeter
- Ratio
- Form factor
Features:
- Real time image display
- High resolution
- Battery portable - up to 3,000 measurements on a single charge
- Stores up to 2,000 sets of data with images
- High resolution - 0.065mm2. Works well with Arabidopsis plants
- Non-destructive
- Fast and simple operation
- USB download of image and data
