Quantum Sensors and Meters
Quantum Sensors and meters measure Photosynthetic Photon
Flux (PPF) in µmol m-2 s-1.
GREENHOUSE APPLICATIONS
Quantum sensors are often used to quantify the light available in greenhouse settings. The line quantum sensor is especially helpful, as it provides a spatial average.
Dr. Erik Runkle of Michigan State University has used the Line Quantum Sensor in greenhouses to record the photon flux during plant growth. A Model SQ-313 is shown here mounted on a cross bar.
