2035-B

Accessory

Light, Temperature and Humidity Sensing Leaf Clip Holder

The leaf clip 2035-B has been devised to record leaf temperature, light intensities at sample level and air humidity. The clip measures photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) by an LS-C Mini Quantum Sensor, a NiCr-Ni thermocouple records leaf temperature, and a capacitive type, temperature-corrected humidity sensor measures relative humidity of air. Calibration factors of PAR and temperature sensors are stored on the internal memory of the leaf clip 2035-B. A second PAR sensor can be connected to the leaf clip. Measured data are sent as digital signals to the MINI-PAM-II. To facilitate studies under field conditions, fluorescence measurements can be triggered by pushing the control button of the leaf clip 2035-B.

Design
Consisting of a port to insert the MINI-PAM/F Fiberoptics and a clip to hold the sample. A circular 1 cm diameter hole in the upper clip part defines the measuring area. Standard distance between fiberoptics tip and measuring area is 8 mm. The port aligns the fiberoptics at an angle of 60° relative to the measuring plane. A mini quantum sensor is positioned on the sample level by a movable Perspex arm, a leaf temperature sensor is mounted below the sample within an up and down movable Plexiglas tube, and a humidity sensor is mounted at 3 cm distance from the sample. The electronics of the 2035-B unit store calibration factors of sensors. Saturation pulses can be triggered by remote trigger button. An input socket for an additional light sensor is provided
