Specifications

MINI-PAM-II/B and MINI-PAM-II/R

Optoelectronic Unit
MINI-PAM-II/B (BLUE Version)

Measuring light: Blue (470 nm) LED, standard modulation frequencies 5 to 25 Hz adjustable in increments of 5 Hz and 100 Hz, measuring light PAR at standard settings = 0.05 μmol m-2 s-1. Fluorescence at wavelengths greater than 630 nm is measured
