It is calibrated to measure chlorophyll concentration in leaves with units of µmol of chlorophyll per m\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. This eliminates problems with relative indices of chlorophyll concentration. For reference and comparison purposes, the meter also outputs relative units (CCI or SPAD).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNON-DESTRUCTIVE MEASUREMENTS\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe meter measures the ratio of radiation transmittance from two wavelengths: red, which is strongly absorbed by chlorophyll, and near infrared, which is not absorbed by chlorophyll. Since the meter gauges the wavelengths, and does not rely on entering the leaf, users are able to make measurements non-destructively and nearly instantaneously (measurement time is less than 3 seconds). This facilitates rapid measurement of multiple leaves and the monitoring of the same leaves over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVARIABLE SAMPLING AREA\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe meter measures the relative chlorophyll concentration over an area of approximately 64 mm\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(circle with 9 mm diameter).

The meter also includes plant species such as quaking aspen, European birch, paper birch, crimson king maple, Norway maple, Japanese maple, boxelder, crab apple, purple leaf sand cherry, lilac, forsythia, cannabis, and hops, as well as a general setting used for all other species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSTORAGE CAPACITY AND INTERNAL GPS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eMemory is allocated to data storage, which allows for 160,000 logged measurements. A mini USB port also enables direct connection to a computer to download your data. Chlorophyll meters come with a complimentary standard mini USB to USB cable adaptor for data downloading. New internal GPS inside the meter allows field data to be geo-referenced and stored, with a storage capacity of 94,000 measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDownloads:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/4150\/4548\/files\/MC-100-manual.pdf?v=1793284005\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Apogee MC-100 User Manual\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eApogee MC-100 User Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/4150\/4548\/files\/MC-100-spec-sheet.pdf?v=1793284002\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Apogee MC-100 Specification Sheet\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eApogee MC-100 Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/4150\/4548\/files\/MC-100-td.pdf?v=1793284002\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Apogee MC-100 Technical Drawing\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eApogee MC-100 Technical Drawing\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Apogee Instruments","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67938506211364,"sku":"MC-100","price":1989.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/4150\/4548\/files\/MC-100USA.jpg?v=1793285525","url":"https:\/\/scientificsales.com\/products\/apogee-mc-100-chlorophyll-concentration-meter","provider":"Scientific Sales","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
