Accessories
Suspension Cuvette KS-2500 and Stirrer MKS-2500
Cuvette: Round stainless steel cuvette (7.5 mm wide, 9.0 mm deep) with top window adapter for connecting the fiberoptics; embedded in PVC body with injection port for Hamilton syringes and hose nozzles for connecting an external flow-through water bath (not included). Including three 6.0 x 1.5 mm magnetic stir bars
Magnetic stirrer: To drive the magnetic stir bar in the Suspension Cuvette KS-2500; with PVC ring for centering the cuvette and miniature stand to fix the fiberoptics on top of the cuvette
Arabidopsis Leaf Holder DUAL-BA
Design: Tube-shaped fiber tip holder composed of polyoxymethylene (POM; 4.5 cm x 2.5 cm, L x D max,) with recessed permanent neodymium magnet. Spring steel band (0.3 mm thick, 1.5 cm wide) consisting of two arms (2 cm and 5 cm, respectively) which form a right angle. The leaf is positioned between the 2 cm arm and the fiber optics tip. The 5 cm arm is attached to the fiber tip holder by the magnet. The 5 cm arm runs in a slit guide. Including a stand with fiberoptics guide
