CI-110 Plant Canopy Imager

CI-110 Digital Plant Canopy Imager Features

• Single measurement for data collection
• 170°-wide viewing angle with live high-resolution fish-eye image
• Collect data under any lighting conditions. The CI-110 accommodates for changes in ambient light
• Non-destructive measurement of Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR)
• On-site evaluation of solar beam transmission coefficients or gap fractions
• Calculation of diffuse radiation transmission coefficients (the sky view factor), mean foliage inclination angles, and plant canopy extinction coefficients
• User-selected number of zenith and azimuthal divisions allows investigation of any canopy sectors desired
• Sun-path can be easily plotted on the image
• A fully integrated ceptometer with 24 photodiodes to measure Sunflecks in the range of Photosynthetically Active Radiation
• Instant Data: Captures Canopy image and calculates Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Photosynthetic Active Radiation (PAR) levels
• Onsite Evaluation: The CI-110 digital process needs only one scan beneath the canopy, allowing on-site evaluation under any daylight conditions
• User-Defined: User-selected number of zenith divisions (rings) and azimuthal divisions allows investigation of any canopy sectors desired
• Lightweight: 0.5 Kg instrument is handheld and simple to use
