Leaflab 2 System
Gas-Phase Photosynthesis & Respiration Measurement
- LD2/3 chamber suitable for leaf discs up to 10cm2 cut from whole leaves, algae or moss etc
- Double water jacket provides enhanced temperature control of sample and electrode disc
- Illuminated by LH36/2R red LED array which locates on the large upper optical port
- Electrode control and direct signal acquisition to a PC via the Oxylab control unit
- Windows® software control over all hardware functions and data acquisition
Overview
Leaflab 2 offers the capability for advanced studies of photosynthesis and respiration from leaf-discs. The system provides automated control of a red (660nm) LED light source array. 32 bit Windows® software functions provide automated measurement of the rate of oxygen evolution/uptake at a range of user-defined light intensities in order to determine apparent quantum yield.
