Mini Quantum Sensor

  • Overview
  • Specifications
cosine-corrected mini quantum sensor with black cylindrical sensor head, coiled black cable, BNC connector, white amplifier box with x1/x10 switch and Lemo output cable for PAR measurements
Cosine-corrected mini quantum sensor in orchid plant

Cosine-corrected mini quantum sensor for selective measurement of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR, 400 – 700 nm). Also often used for the determination of PAR-lists (lists of light intensities determined for different measuring and actinic light settings).
