Applications for MICRO-PAM
Live Data
On October 17, 2024, after 5 years of recording photosynthesis in cherry laurel leaves, a new period of long-term monitoring was started. The pilot experiment combines PAM fluorescence analysis and sap flow measurements. An Arizona cypress tree (Hesperocyparis arizonica) is being investigated.
A MICRO-PAM system including four fluorometers provides live data via a WiFi modem. Three 3 types of live graphs are available (see below): Y(II) + PAR, Y(II) + ETR, and Temperature + PAR + Humidity. Data can be downloaded and displayed using the WinControl-3 software. Import of sap flow data into the WinControl-3 software is under development.
Ch. | F | Fm' | Y(II) | PAR 1) | ETR 1) | Temp. °C | Air Hum. % |
