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.
A submersible FluoroProbe, manufactured by bbe Moldaenke GmbH, Germany, was used to monitor in situ chlorophyll fluorescence and to estimate algal community composition. Used with factory calibration settings.
