The Submersible Photosynthesis-Respiration System measures the rate of production or consumption of oxygen in a submerged chamber, which provides a good proxy for photosynthesis and respiration rates. The System is only designed to operate two chambers, and is therefore easy to carry, setup and deploy. No more lugging the old-style heavy respirometer around, with the inherent health and safety issues. For more chambers, simply add one or more extra 2-chamber modules.

Please note: Blue-RAT and Red-RAT versions are also available. This is the White-RAT Leaf Absorptance Meter pictured.  (RAT: Reflectance, Absorptance, Transmittance). Aquation’s White-RAT Leaf Absorptance Meter provides a precise measurement of leaf reflectance and absorptance of white light (White-RAT, where RAT: Reflectance, Absorptance, Transmittance).  Both leaf absorptance and reflectance are important attributes of leaves and other photosynthetic structures, as they influence the proportion of light ultimately entering the photosystem and either driving photosynthesis or contributing to photodamage.
