FluorCams

FluorCams are imaging fluorometers that measure sequences of Chl-fluorescence images with user-defined irradiance protocols and timing of measurements. Fluorescence emission is induced by two (or more) panels of super-bright, light emitting diodes (LEDs) that provide measuring flashes. Photochemistry is driven by continuous actinic irradiance and/or by strong saturating pulses of light that are generated in a halogen lamp, equipped with a shutter, or in supplemental LED panels.

Fluorescence images are captured by a CCD camera. The images are taken at 12-bit resolution in 512 x 512 pixels (or 640 x 480 or 1392 x 1040 pixels) of a CCD chip. Up to fifty images can be taken in one second. Data are transmitted via a USB 2.0 port to a desktop computer or to a notebook.

The software package includes numerous image manipulation tools and also a Wizard with the most frequently used experimental protocols. For an experienced professional, the software offers a sophisticated programming language that can be used for designing novel timing and measurig sequences.

Typically, FluorCam is used to detect dynamics and spatial heterogeneity in fluorescence emission of plants. Kautsky effect, quenching analysis, and other transients are imaged and 2-dimensional maps - images of conventional fluorescence parameters - are calculated. Images of F0, FM, FV, F0', FM', FV', NPQ, ΦPSII, FV/FM, FV'/FM', RFd, qN, qP, and of other fluorescence parameters are used, for example, to investigate heterogeneity due to infection, senescence, abiotic stress, or mutation.

Measured objects can be as small as isolated chloroplasts or individual cells in the Micro-FluorCam and Fluorescence Kinetic Microscope or as large as small canopies in the Arch, Transect, or Rover FluorCams. In addition to standard imaging of chlorophyll fluorescence emission, one can use the FluorCam to image fluorescence emission of all varieties of fluorescent proteins - Handy GFPCam or Closed GFPCam.
