Instrument: Fluorometer
A fluorometer or fluorimeter is a device used to measure parameters of fluorescence: its intensity and wavelength distribution of emission spectrum after excitation by a certain spectrum of light. The instrument is designed to measure the amount of stimulated electromagnetic radiation produced by pulses of electromagnetic radiation emitted into a water sample or in situ.
Wetlabs Wet-Star fluorometer located in the Hydro Lab clean seawater piping. A MetraByte A/D converter is used to convert the 0 - 5 volt dc fluorometer output to serial (count) data. Output: 0 - 5 VDC; 0 - 4095 counts.
