Pollution sensors: measuring chlorophyll fluorence in plants
Pollution sensors: measuring chlorophyll fluorence in plants
Samenvatting
This paper describes the research on a small, cheap and autonomous fluorometer, to detect present stress in plants. The implementation of such a system would indirectly utilize plants as biosensors. The project work concentrates on different design aspects of the conceptual model of the required fluorometer as well as on validation of the chosen hardware and method of measurement. Results from conducted research and validation reveal that chlorophyll fluorescence yield can be correctly identified with absence/level of presence of stress but efficiency of a plant cannot be determined because of low digital resolution of the proposed setup. This paper outlines electrical, mechanical and software design of a fluorometer with the aforementioned specifications.
