Efficiency of photosynthesis

Whole plant imaging of Photosystem II at next-level resolution

Measuring photosynthesis and absorption


PhenoVation has developed several imaging systems that are capable of measuring photosynthesis efficiency and the absorption of chlorophyll and anthocyanin. Moreover, our systems can measure morphological parameters, to assess the plants regarding their growth and development. These systems are a great addition to your research, as the obtained images and data will ensure objectivity. Most importantly, they allow you to capture the performance of the entire plant.


Because of our turnkey delivery, you can start working with the systems straight away. Analysis software is included in the system’s purchase.

The systems are able to measure the following: 

 

1. Photosynthesis efficiency

2. Pigment absorption (chlorophyll & anthocyanin)

3. Morphology

4. Colour details





The following systems are designed for photosynthesis measurements, with each their own specialties: 

Measuring photosynthesis and pigment absorption

The PlantExplorer XS would be an excellent entry-level model for obtaining objective, photosynthesis related data of your research. This system measures chlorophyll fluorescence, the absorption level of chlorophyll & anthocyanin, and morphological characteristics. The system can be used for different research purposes. These include single plant measurement, but also imaging of well-plates. Due to its compact design, it won't take up much space, and is easily positioned.  

Modular multispectral imaging

The PlantExplorer Pro features a modular design that can be detached and installed on XYZ structures in greenhouses. All of the main components for the analysis are located at the very top of the structure.The bottom half of the cabinet can be adjusted to your wishes; for example, the cabinet can be made smaller to suit a tabletop or made taller to accommodate larger plants. 


The system is able to measure areas up to 50x50 cm. This system is also able to measure multipsepctral parameters

Integration into phenotyping systems

The Plant Explorer Pro XL is specifically developed for integration into plant phenotyping systems. These are modular systems which can be used to assess plants in trays, pots, or other plant carriers on photosynthetic performances.


It can image areas up to 80x 80 cm2.  This system is also able to measure multipsepctral parameters.

Automatic phenotyping

The Phenomate XYZ-system is designed to automatically measure several hundred small/medium sized plants. This system is developed for the assessment of medium sized plants and can be utilized during the full cultivation, as it is equipped with ebb and flow systems to irrigate the crops. 



This system is also able to measure multipsepctral parameters.

GFP/RFP Expression

The PlantExplorer GFP/RFP is able to measure photosynthethic perfomances of the crop. This system can be used for different research purposes, as it is able to measure multispectral parameters, as well as GFP/RFP expression

Item koppelen

The PlantExplorer XS is an easy to use, plug and play, high tech imaging system that can image the efficiency of photosynthesis, absorption of chlorophyll and morphological parameters
