Leaf cuvettes for use with our CIRAS Portable Photosynthesis
System
For over 25 years, PP Systems has been
producing a full range of leaf cuvettes to accommodate a
wide variety of leaf types (broad, narrow, conifers,
pods, fruits, etc.). In addition, our technical staff
have produced many special designs for specific
applications and plant types such as mosses, lichens,
Arabidopsis, Cactii.
We offer an extensive range of
“automatic” leaf cuvettes that feature integrated,
automatic control of temperature from approximately -8°
C below ambient up to +40° C. Optional
light units are
available for use with all “automatic” style leaf cuvettes providing automatic, integral light control.
All “automatic” style leaf cuvettes can be used for ambient
studies as well.
