GFS-3000FL: LED-Array/PAM-Fluorometer 3057-FL

The long lasting experience in PAM fluorometry of Heinz Walz GmbH is embedded in the PAM fluorometers 3057-FL and 3050-F.

The PAM fluorometry with the saturation pulse method provides detailed information on the light-energy usage of photosystem II and, thus, adds important information on primary photosynthetic reactions to the gas exchange data.

The LED-Array/PAM-Fluorometer 3057-FL uses red measuring light to collect the fluorescence information with 6 detectors on up to 8 cm2 sample area.

Its LED array provides variable proportions of red and blue actinic light as well as strong saturating light pulses. Also, it features far-red LEDs to determine the Fo’ fluorescence. It connects with a simple snap-on mount to the Standard Measuring Head 3010-S, allowing optical control when positioning the leaf in the cuvette.

For the determination of the maximum fluorescence signal (Fm), the leaf needs to be dark acclimated. The additional light-weight Dark Leaf Clips 3010-DLC, with positioning aid and sliding shutters, made from sun reflecting material, fit to the measuring area of the 3010-S.
