 GREENHOUSE APPLICATIONS
Quantum sensors are
often used to quantify the light available in greenhouse
settings. The line quantum sensor is especially helpful, as
it provides a spatial average.
Dr. Erik Runkle of Michigan State University has used the
Line Quantum Sensor in greenhouses to record the photon flux
during plant growth. A Model SQ-313 is shown here mounted on
a cross bar.
