Chlorophyll fluorescence expert Walz GmbH and phenotyping specialist LemnaTec GmbH facilitate physiological measurements in plant phenotyping. By integrating a Walz Imaging PAM camera into the LemnaTec Phenocenter, chlorophyll fluorescence measurements are enabled as part of an automated plant phenotyping procedure. The Phenocenter is a multi-sensor laboratory phenotyping system that automatically measures plants with different camera types. An adapted version of the approved Walz Imaging PAM is one of the possible sensors available for the Phenocenter. Other cameras can be visible light and near-infrared cameras together with laser scanners and static fluorescence imaging. The multi-sensor approach enables comprehensive characterization of different aspects of plant phenotypes with particular focus on physiological data derived from chlorophyll fluorescence.
