Hansatech Instruments, UK. Handy PEA + Instrument description Fluorometer Handy PEA+ Description and functionality The Handy Pea is supplied by control unit and sensor with 3 ultra-bright red LEDs which are filtered to a peak of wavelenght of 650 nm, up to a maximum intensity of 3500 µmol m s . After a dark adaptation period (using the leafclip), leaves were exposed to a saturating red actinic light pulse of 3500 µmol photons m s of 1 second duration. The kinetics of polyphasic prompt fluorescence rise (PF) was recorded. Another important role of leafclip is to shield the fluorescence detector from ambient light. For the first 300 µ seconds data is sampled at 10 µ second intervals. Since the kinetic activity reduces, the subsequent induction phases is recorded at lower rate. http://www.hansatech-instruments.com/product/handy-pea/ http://www.hansatech-instruments.com/technical-support-2/ location and contact persons Contact person fausto.manes Laboratory denomination Functional Ecology and Ecosystem Services Department or Institution Biologia Ambientale Building CU022 Floor Ground floor Room 29 Sapienza institutional funding (Finanziamento di Ateneo) other external funding safety notes Safety data notes To use this instrument no safety items are required Chemical fume hoods No Air extraction system No Air intake system No Safety cabinet No
