PAR Quantum (SKP 215) 
PAR 'Special' (SKP 210)

These sensors, traditionally used in plant growth studies, count the number of quanta falling between 400 and 700 nm.

The PAR Quantum is the sensor with the ideal 100% quantum efficiency curve and is traditionally used in plant growth studies. The spectral response has been well researched and documented and is widely accepted as 'the standard'. 

Pyranometer (SKS 1110)

For measurement of total sunlight and for use in outdoor locations we offer the silicon cell Pyranometer,  A very popular and cost effective sensor, which is calibrated against a WMO  Class 1 Thermopile.  Output is proportional to total solar energy in watts/m²

Energy Sensor (SKE 510)

This sensor measures energy (rather than quanta) in watts/m2 within the 400-700nm waveband.  This sensor is useful if studies involve the use of other instruments, such as Pyranometers, which also measure in watts/m2.

Lux or Photopic Sensor (SKL 310)

The response curve of this sensor matches the CIE Photopic curve (a standard for human eye response to light) and measures in Lux units.  This is the preferred sensor for human and animal studies.

UV Sensors
UVA (SKU 420)  UVB (SKU 430)

Two sensors designed to measure the UVA (315-380nm) and UVB (280-315nm) parts of sunlight.

Components used have been selected for their stability in a UV environment. The bandwidth characteristics are tailored to DIN standards.

Sensors for the Hansatech Leaf Chamber (SKP 216)

A sensor designed especially for use with the leaf chamber produced by Hansatech Ltd.  There is a choice of two spectral responses - the standard Quantum response (SKP 216Q) and a 550-750nm response (SKP 216ER) to match the LEDs used for leaf illumination

Fibre Optic Probe (SKR 116

A one or two channel radiometer with a long fibre optic probe extension. The light is collected from the tip of the probe at right angles to its long axis.  Thus the probe can be inserted in short grass sward and collect down-welling light.  The filters and diodes are housed in a small ABS box, which is neatly mounted with the measuring unit to make a compact hand-held system.  The response of this probe can be can be chosen from the standard range of sensors, eg.  PAR Quantum response
