Closed FluorCam 701MF Closed Version

Closed FluorCam consists, in its core, of a CCD camera, two panels of light emitting diodes (LEDs), and of a halogen lamp with a shutter. All these components are arranged around a sample chamber. The CCD camera equipped with a F1.2/2.8-6 mm objective captures 512 x 512 pixel images of 12-bit (or 14-bit) resolution with maximal frequency of 50 frames/sec. Images are recorded synchronously with measuring light flashes. The data are communicated via USB 2.0 interface.

Open FluorCam 701MF Open

Open FluorCam is a highly modular instrument with flexible geometry. The LED panels and the light source generating saturating flashes can be arranged at various angles and distances from the sample. Also, the position of the camera relative to the sample is adjustable. The instrument can be configured with various types of LED panels and supplemental light sources. The other essential features of theinstrument are similar to the FluorCam closed version.

Micro FluorCam 701MF Micro-Scope Version

Micro-FluorCam (Kuepper et al. 2000, Photosyntetica 38 (4): 553-570, Ferimazova et al. 2002, Photochem. Photobiol. 76, 501-508) extends the complete capacity of kinetic Chl-fluorescence imaging to the realm of individual cells and sub-cellular structures. All conventional fluorescence parameters can be mapped with micrometerresolution so that individual chloroplasts or even grana-stroma thylakoid segments can be investigated (Vacha et al. 2005, Micron 36 (6): 483-502). Micro-FluorCam can be mounted to a wide range of microscopes.

Handy FluorCam 701MF Handy Version

Handy FluorCam is designed for kinetically resolved fluorescence imaging of leaves and small plants both in a field and laboratory. The typical size of aninvestigated object is smaller than 3 x 3 cm. The HandyCam is a portable system that can run on sealed lead acid batteries in a convenient bag carried over the shoulder. In all applications, the camera allowsimaging of fluorescence transients that are induced by actinic light or by saturating flashes. The timing and amplitude of actinic irradiance are determined by user-defined protocols. The FluorCam software package includes a Wizard with the most frequently used experimental protocols. For an experienced professional, the software offers a sophisticated programming language that can be used for designing novel timing and measuring sequences
