May 12, 2015 – The new MC-100 is a research-grade, cost-effective, optical
meter that combines the features of the Opti-Sciences CCM 200 Plus with the
ability to output a direct measure of chlorophyll in units of micromols of
chlorophyll per square metre of leaf surface.
This ability to output linear chlorophyll concentration
means that the meter performs similarly to far more expensive meters, Apogee
said in a press release.
Teaching and research applications include monitoring
environmental stress, evaluating efficiency of fertilizer treatments,
optimizing harvest schedules, providing pest control and providing crop
bleeding.
A large sampling area helps to integrate larger leaf area
and provide a more reproducible measurement. A field-of-view reducer can be
used if the leaf width is narrower that the nine-millimetre sample chamber.
Other features include rapid sampling, a large display and
sample memory that can be downloaded to a computer.
