Aquation has recently released a prototype version of its new Submersible Photosynthesis-Respiration System.  This 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…

On request from Dr Ritchie we have developed and trialled our new leaf absorptance meter, the “Blue-RAT”, where RAT stands for Reflectance, Absorptance and Transmittance.  The Blue-RAT was specifically designed to monitor fluorescence of bacteriochlorophyll which absorbs mostly blue light. White-RAT and Red-RAT versions are also available. see https://aquation.com.au/products/blue-rat-absorptance-meter
