Apogee Red - Far-red Sensors (S2-131)

Apogee Red - Far-Red sensors combine two photodetectors designed to measure wavelength ranges and peaks that approximate phytochrome absorption. The red / far-red ratio can be calculated from these measurements. Red and far-red wavelengths are of particular interest because they influence photosynthetic and morphogenic activity. Phytochrome pigments sensitive to varying ratios of red and far-red light provide information to the plant about its light environment

Features: TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

•Monitoring plant light environments

•Research plant morphogenic activity

•Photobiology studies

KEY FEATURES

Digital SDI-12 output is standard with analog and Modbus options available. A domed diffuser promotes self-cleaning to minimize errors from dust and debris.

HIGH QUALITY CABLE

Pigtail-lead sensors feature on IP68, marine-grade stainless-steel cable connectors attached directly to the sensor head to simplify sensor removal for maintenance and recalibration.
