Measures Photosynthetically Active
Radiation (PAR) in the 400 to 700 nm waveband.
Used by agriculturists, botanists,
horticulturists, ecologists, and environmental
scientists to measure PPFD (Photosynthetic
Photon Flux Density) in the atmosphere,
growth chamber, and greenhouse
Accurate measurements under natural
and artificial light conditions
Colored glass filters are used to tailor
the response to the desired waveband using
an interference fi lter to provide a sharp
cutoff at 700 nm which prevents any infrared
light from being measured.
