The OS30p+ is a modulated fluorometer with a calibrated red actinic LED light source designed to provide optimal measurement of both FV/FM and Strasser protocol OJIP  parameters. The instrument provides a graphic display for the FV/FM protocol and a color overlay display of OJIP graphs. Direct readout is available for FO, FM, FV/FM, & FV/FO. Direct readout is also available for the most used Strasser OJIP protocol parameters, including: PIABS, Vj, Mo, Area above the curve, O, t100, K,  J, I, P, & tFM . All of the Strasser OJIP protocol parameters are reported & arranged in the data file for easy spider graphing and trace overlay graphing. Output is by USB port.

• Direct readout and graphic display of FV/FM and FV/FO measurements
• Self calibrating red Strasser OJIP light source  at 3,500 μmoles –  Because Strasser OJIP values change with actinic light intensity. 3,500 μmoles are recommended.
• Color graphic screen – allows multiple overlayed Strasser color graphs
• Direct readout of the most used Strasser protocol parameters including: O, t100, K, J, I, P, tFM, PIABS, Vj, MO, & A
• Print out of all of Strasser’s measuring parameters in the data file.
• Easy modulated light intensity set up with helpful intensity bar.
• Affordable dark adaptation clips
• USB port for easy data transfer
• Housekeeping automation reduces set up time and eliminates some types of measuring errors.
• Signal bar aides in modulated light intensity set up.
• Automated 8 point 25ms rolling average to determine maximum FM. This eliminates saturation pulse NPQ as a source of error if the saturation pulse is too long. This feature is only used in the FV/FM protocol.
• Automatic light calibration to 3,500 μmols.

Dark adapted parameters

FV/FM: Maximum Photochemical efficiency of PSII.

FV/FO: A more sensitive detector of stress than FV/FM, but it does not correlate with gas exchange.

FO: Minimum chlorophyll fluorescence.

FM: Maximal chlorophyll fluorescence.
