Actinic light and Excitation sources

The PlantExplorer EDEN features a state-of-the-art 4-channel multispectral LED system, designed to provide precise and customizable lighting conditions. This innovative setup includes channels for White, Red, Blue, and Far Red LEDs.


Customizable Spectrum: By adjusting the spectrum, different effects on plants can be measured in real time, offering unparalleled flexibility in experimental design.


Dual Functionality: The same LEDs are utilized for spectral measurements. During a measurement, the LEDs return to their calibrated intensity to ensure accurate data collection. After the measurement, they revert to the preset settings specified by the client.


The LED ceiling for imaging chlorophyll fluorescence parameters is composed of two Blue LED strings: one dedicated to the measuring pulse and the other for the saturation pulse.


Optional the PlantExplorer EDEN can be equipped with an additional Dual GFP LED ring or a GFP/RFP LED ring. Each LED is meticulously filtered to prevent any emission leakage. Additionally, these LED rings can be customized to meet any specific excitation LED requirements of the customer.
