A Portable, Microprocessor Controlled, Multichannel Fluorometer for Marine Analysis.

Abstract

The design of a portable, multichannel fluorometer which provides enhanced sensitivity and rapid data acquisition is described. The advantages of multidimensional fluorescence detection are discussed with special reference to the continuous monitoring of in vivo chlorophyll fluorescence in the marine environment. Sensitivity, detection limit, linearity of detection, and other parameters are used to evaluate the instrument design. Preliminary experiments are presented in regard to chlorophyll determinations in the open ocean.
