About This Instrument

<p>Light Meter displays measurements from LI-COR radiation sensors. The LI-250A provides high-resolution reading and conversion of microamp signals from the attached light sensor into suitable light measurement units.</p> <p>A quantum sensor measures photosynthetically active radiation (&micro;mol s -1 m-2 of PAR), a pyranometer measures solar radiation (W m-2 ), and a photometric sensor measures illuminance (lux).</p>
