2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FluorPen FP 110 is a portable, battery-powered fluorometer that enables quick and precise measurement of chlorophyll fluorescence
parameters (Ft, QY, NPQ, OJIP, and LC of (QY) in plants. The FluorPen can be used in the laboratory, greenhouse, or in the field, where
data can be mapped precisely to the location with the built in GPS module. With the built-in GPS module, the FluorPen is a great device
for studying photosynthetic activity, stress detection, herbicide testing, or mutant/variety/transgenic screening in the field. Affordable
price and user-friendly two-button operation make the FluorPen a perfect tool for teaching photosynthesis. Because of its rapid
measurement capability and large internal memory, the FluorPen is also an invaluable tool for large plant-screening programs.
PAR-FluorPen FP 110 includes all features of the FluorPen FP 110, and measures the same chlorophyll fluorescence parameters as FP110,
but in addition, the PAR-FluorPen has an integrated Light Meter for direct digital readouts of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR)
in the range from 400 to 700 nm. PAR is measured as Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density (PPFD), which is indicated by units of quanta
(photons) per unit time per unit surface area. The sensor has a uniform response to photons in the 400-700 range. Instant readouts are
provided as average values of 20 measurements. It is recommended to recalibrate the PAR sensor every 2 years.
Monitoring Pen MP 100 is a lightweight, portable and a more durable version of the FluorPen. It is designed for long-term, unattended
monitoring of chlorophyll fluorescence parameters in the field or lab experiments. It features weatherproof construction for use even in
adverse environmental conditions, or in the laboratory /greenhouse long term experiments. It is battery operated (internal or external
battery) and as an option may be used with a solar panel as a power supply.
All measured data are sequentially stored in the internal memory of the FluorPen, PAR-FluorPen or Monitoring Pen all collected data can
be transferred from the devices to the PC computer via both USB and Bluetooth communication -. Comprehensive FluorPen 1.1 software,
included with the device provides data transfer, and visualization protocols.
Unless stated otherwise, the information regarding the FluorPen FP 110 is relevant also to PAR FluorpenFP110
and the Monitoring Pen MP 100.
