PAR-FluorPen FP 110-LM/X

Handheld fluorometer with integrated Light Meter, GPS module, USB/Bluetooth communication and dedicated software. Measured parameters: PAR, Ft, QY, OJIP, NPQ, LC. The “X“ version is mounted with custom-made leaf-clip.

Measured Parameters:

  • PAR
    Photosynthetically Active Radiation measured as Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density (PPFD).
  • FT
    Continuous fluorescence yield in non-actinic light. FTis equivalent to F0 if the leaf sample is dark-adapted.
  • QY
    Photosystem II Quantum Yield. QY is equivalent to FV/FM in the dark-adapted samples and to FV ‘ /FM ‘ in the light-adapted samples.
  • OJIP Analysis
    Application of chlorophyll fluorescence fast-transient analysis (OJIP) is a simple and non-invasive tool to monitor chloroplast function. Provided OJIP analysis is used as sensitive and reliable fast test for the functionality and vitality of photosynthetic system.
  • NPQ – Non-Photochemical Quenching
    Provided are two predefined NPQ protocols differing in the duration of light exposure and dark recovery phase as well as in the number of intervals between the pulses. It is typically used for quantification of photochemical and non-photochemical quenching in dark-adapted samples.
  • Light Curve
    There are three predefined Light Curve protocols based on pulse modulated fluorometry differing in number and duration of single light phases and light intensities. Light Curve protocols provide successive measurements of the sample photosynthesis under various light intensities of continuous illumination relating the rate of photosynthesis to photon flux density.
