The LCpro T is the smallest, lightest and most inexpensive system for measuring photosynthesis, permitting complete control of environmental conditions. It offers complete, automatic and independent control of the environmental conditions inside the leaf chamber. The automated control of conditions is possible both above and below ambient values.
Weighing just 4.5 kg, the LCpro T has less than half the weight and half the size of conventional systems offering microclimate control. Nevertheless the space-saving LCpro T console has almost unlimited storage capacity and offers flow control and full programmability.
A range of interchangeable heads is available to ensure the system can be optimally adapted to the experimental application. These can be exchanged easily, also during use in the field. Boundary layer resistance and concentration gradients are minimised irrespective of which head is used. All of the measurement chamber materials have been carefully selected to guarantee minimum interaction with H₂O and CO₂. All windows are silicon-coated to reduce scratching. The various measurement chambers (broad, narrow and the special conifer chamber) each have an individual light source with RGB and white LEDS. The light source is designed to supply PAR with high intensity and an even spectrum but with little heat loss. All real-time photosynthesis data, calculations and graphs are presented clearly on a large HD LCD touch display. In addition to the classical photosynthesis and transpiration calculations, the LCpro T also provides calculations on soil respiration including NCER when the soil chamber is used. Data are stored on removable memory cards (SD cards), which can either be read out directly in the PC or via the USB interface.
