Overview
Chloroview 1 is an entry level system for studies of photosynthesis & respiration from liquid-phase suspension samples under actinic illumination. The system is ideally suited to teaching environments for under & post-grad plant biology studies of the photosynthetic processes but is equally at home in research facilities where demands on equipment performance are high.
Samples are typically between 0.2 - 2.5ml and consist of suspensions of extracted chloroplasts, micro-algae etc. Changes in oxygen concentration of the sample medium are determined by the integral oxygen electrode mounted in the base of the chamber.
The system comprises the Oxyview control unit, S1 Clark type electrode disc, DW1 liquid-phase electrode chamber, LS2 high intensity light source with neutral density filters to modify light intensities and QRT PAR/temperature sensor for light source calibration. All necessary accessories and spares are also included (excluding circulating water bath and chart recorder).
