Configurations
Suspension and leaf configurations

Scheme of a complete configuration for suspension measurements (a) and stand-alone application of the STK flashlamp unit for leaf measurements (b) (see Klughammer, Schlosser and Schreiber (Photosynth Res 2024: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11120-024-01101-w) for a full description).

In the schematic version of the stand-alone application (see above), the leaf is placed in a gas flow chamber.
A leaf clip for the simultaneous measurement of two fluorescence wavelengths will be introduced soon. A prototype with the Multi-Color Emitter Head in the center and two Detectors placed under a 45° angle relative to the emitter, is shown below.

The two-wavelength fluorescence detection of a barley leaf with this configuration is illustrated below.

This leaf clip will replace the leaf clip configuration of the first-generation MULTI-COLOR-PAMs.

However, the leaf clip developed for the first-generation MULTI-COLOR-PAM can still be used in combination with the Multi-Color Emitter-Detector Units of the MULTI-COLOR-PAM-II.
