Chlorophyll fluorometer MINI-PAM-II

Sensitivity, small dimensions, reliability under rugged conditions, and simple execution of fluorescence analysis make the MINI-PAM-II the standard for PAM fluorometry in field research. The MINI-PAM II combines well-tested fiberoptics with the most modern LED and computer technology. A sun-readable touchscreen serves as easy-to-use interface for field studies. The fluorometer automatically calculates and displays all relevant parameters of saturation pulse analysis. Outstanding Properties of the MINI-PAM-II •Compact housing with integrated computer •Internal PAR sensor •Red and blue light versions, both including far-red light •Numerous system configurations General Features MINI-PAM-II Energy-efficient LED sources, storage capacity for 27,000 data sets, and easy replaceable off-the-shelf batteries permit extended measurements in remote places. The far-red light (735 nm LED) of the MINI-PAM-II preferably excites photosystem I but its radiation is negligibly absorbed by photosystem II. A special measuring routine uses this far-red light to determine the F0’ fluorescence level, which is important to correctly assess the redox state of photosystem II reaction centers. A new leaf clip measures fluorescence, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), leaf temperature and relative humidity.
