Monitoring Pen is an extended version of the popular FluorPen, that offers measurement of equal fluorescence parameters and protocols – Ft, QY, OJIP, NPQ and Light Curve. Due to its robust and weatherproof construction the Monitoring Pen is designed for long-term, unattended monitoring of chlorophyll fluorescence parameters in indoor or outdoor experiments, even in challenging environmental conditions in polar regions or under water level. External battery ensures measurement in term of months or years.
Monitoring Pen is an extended version of the popular FluorPen, that offers measurement of equal fluorescence parameters
and protocols – Ft, QY, OJIP, NPQ and Light Curve. Due to its robust and weatherproof construction the Monitoring Pen is designed
for long-term, unattended monitoring of chlorophyll fluorescence parameters in indoor or outdoor experiments, even in rough environmental conditions. Thus it can be effectively used for studying of photosynthetic performance in naturally changing environmental conditions, stress detection, herbicide testing, or growth performance monitoring in controlled and field conditions.
External battery of Monitoring Pen ensures measurement in term of months or years. The device features programmable autonomous operation with automated switch ON function, which allows long lasting self-governing battery-powered operation. Measured data are sequentially stored in the internal device memory. Data transfer to a PC is via USB communication. Comprehensive FluorPen 1.1 software provides data transfer routines and many additional features for data presentation in tables and graphs.
Monitoring Pen MP 100-A/A is intended for maximum water depth up to 2 meters. The device is equipped with two buttons that allow direct operation of the device (even under water) by the user or it can be controled remotely via the FluorPen software.
Monitoring Pen MP 100-A/B can be used in deeper water (maximum 10 m). There are no buttons on the device. This version is intended for remote or automatic measuring; the device control is enabled via commands preprogrammed in a PC (placed on shore). The device is usually fixed in static position under water.
