The Z100 Kinetic Multispectral Fluorescence Imaging FluorCam System represents a highly innovative, world-wide used system of multispectral kinetic fluorescence imaging. It consists of a CCD camera, 4 fixed LED panels and 4 or 8 position filter wheel. The LED panels provide uniform irradiance over samples up to 13 x 13 cm – suitable for small plants, detached leaves, algal dilutions, etc. The system allows dark adaptation. The price includes a high-performance PC and comprehensive software package.
