The FytoScope Chamber represents a remarkable combination of an LED-based growth camber and a measuring device. It provides well defined culture conditions. The illumination can be controlled in its power, spectral composition and temporal modulation. Temperature, gas atmosphere composition, and shaking power can be constant or varied. The FytoScope is primarily designed for cultivation and monitoring of higher plants. Alternatively, it can be used for growing algae and cyanobacteria in Petri dishes or Erlenmeyer flasks that are exposed to well defined irradiance, kept in constant temperature and, if needed, supplied by gas mixture.

Highlights

High light levels - 1500 µmol (photons)/m²s, optional 3000 µmol (photons)/m²s
Rapid modulation of irradiance simulating light flecks
Precise adjustment of the light intensity in the range of 1-100%
Full-spectrum colors from 480 nm to 735 nm, with optional UVA and IR
Independently programmable light composition and dynamics in UVA, VIS and near IR
LED technology with no plant heating
