Designed for outdoor measurement of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) in natural daylight. It has been specifically designed for: Agricultural meteorology Studies of crop growthPARLITE can be used under all weather conditions. The sensor measures the PAR received from the entire hemisphere. PARLITE uses a specially designed optical filter to provide a spectral response between 400 and 700 nm. PHOTOSYNTHETIC ACTIVE RADIOMETER LITE uses a photodiode sensor, which creates a voltage output that is proportional to the incoming radiation. Due to the unique design of the diffuser, its sensitivity is proportional to the cosine of the angle of incidence of the incoming radiation, allowing for accurate and consistent measurements.
