Walz GmBH DIVING-PAM
Overview
The Diving-PAM underwater fluorometer is used to study in situ photosynthesis by chlorophyll fluorescence analysis. It can be used in underwater studies of sea grass, underwater plants, macro-algae and coral.
The Diving-PAM is rated to a depth of 50m, has a external fibre optic sensor and a number of purpose designed sample holders. All necessary underwater commands are via a touch sensitive keypad.
The instrument automatically displays and records fluorescence yield, maximal yield and photosynthesis yield.
The fluorometer stores up to 4000 datasets in internal memory for later transfer to a PC.
