Through a simplified (bargain) procurement procedure, the LI-600PF was acquired – a portable device for the simultaneous measurement of stomatal conductance and chlorophyll fluorescence on the same area of a leaf sample, used within the project for the physiological phenotyping of grapevine. This instrument enables the rapid and non-invasive collection of data on the photosynthetic activity and water status of plants, with results for both parameters available in less than 10 seconds per reading.

A built-in PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation) sensor records ambient light at each measurement, while an IRT (Infrared Leaf Temperature) sensor measures leaf temperature, providing a more complete insight into the physiological state of the plant. In addition, the device comes with built-in software for configuring settings, calibration and data processing, as well as a built-in barcode reader, allowing simple and reliable labelling and tracking of individual samples.
