Fluorometer “FLS 10s”

Abstract

Many biological objects have the ability to fluoresce under the influence of electromagnetic radiation in the optical range. Measuring the fluorescence of a biological object helps obtain information about its internal state. Therefore, the creation of instruments for scientific research in the field of studying biological objects has been a pressing task for many areas of human activity for many years. In particular, these are areas such as agriculture, ecology, food industry and medicine. This article is devoted to a description of the recently developed “FLS 10s” device for studying plant chlorophyll fluorescence, as well as description of software for operating the device and analyzing the information obtained. This device provides data of well known OJIP test.
