The M-PEA (Multi-Function Plant Efficiency Analyser) combines high
quality fast fluorescence kinetic and P700+ absorbance studies with
ground-breaking Delayed Fluorescence (DF) measurements providing one
of the most comprehensive systems for the investigation of plant
photosynthetic efficiency available. The M-PEA is a laboratory-based
measurement system consisting of a control unit and sophisticated,
robust sensor unit housing all optical emitters and detectors for
all measurement elements. The system is controlled from a
comprehensive Windows® software package (M-PEA+) which allows
complex experiments to be designed, uploaded and executed by the
M-PEA hardware. Recorded data is quickly downloaded to the software
via a USB2.0 connection. The control unit is of convenient size with
minimal footprint allowing measurements to be made in a busy lab
environment where bench space is critical. The front panel consists
of a power switch and indicator LED, optical sensor connection and a
4 line LCD display. The rear panel provides input for a 12V DC power
supply and a USB2.0 connection socket for interface to the M-PEA+
software running on a Windows® PC.
The optical sensor unit is a robust enclosure designed to
incorporate sophisticated electronics which effectively controls all
of the light sources and detectors. The M-PEA-1 sensor unit includes
a high intensity red actinic source, a far-red light source, the
prompt fluorescence detector and the modulated emitter/detector pair
for P700+ absorbance measurements. M-PEA-2 additionally includes a
high sensitivity delayed fluorescence detector and a detector to
measure leaf absorptivity. All the optics are located behind a
quartz window which seals the sensor unit providing effective
protection for the optical assemblies against dust, dirt and
moisture. Please use the tabs below for full details of the
different elements of the M-PEA system.
