Detector unit DKN-D

Measuring light: pulse modulated blue fluorescence measuring light (460 nm).

Actinic light: Blue light (460 nm) for continuous blue illumination (max. ~400 µmol m-2 s-1 PAR), Chip-On-Board LED array (635 nm) for continuous red illumination (max. ~3400 µmol m-2 s-1 PAR), which can also be used for saturating single turnover flashes (max. >28000 µmol m-2 s-1 PAR, length 5-50 µs), and multiple turnover pulses (MT and SP) (max. 25000 µmol photons m-2 s-1 PAR, length 1-1000 ms), far-red light (740 nm) for continuous far-red illumination (max. 400 µmol photons m-2 s-1).

Signal detection: Photodiode and pulse preamplifier to measure four dual wavelength NIR-transmission difference signals (780-820, 820-870, 870-965 and 840-965 nm) and two fluorescence signals. Time resolution of a single channel measurement is 35 µs, of a two channel measurement is 150 µs and of a 6 channel measurement is 1 ms. The same detector (protected by the same set of filters) is used for fluorescence and NIR transmission measurements. The filter set passes wavelengths > 750 nm.
