Function and Applications
With the help of the instrument set, the process of photosynthesis can be observed and the dependencies on the light intensity, the wavelength of the light, the CO2.

Content and other parameters:

The equipment set is designed for student experiments, but can also be used for demonstration purposes. On the enclosed CD-ROM, in addition to the detailed teacher information with theoretical background for each experiment, there is an evaluation sheet (protocol) to be worked on by the students.

Experiment topics:

• Detection of oxygen developed by plants
• Dependence of photosynthesis on light intensity
• Dependence of photosynthesis on the wavelength of light
• Dependence of photosynthesis on the CO2 content of water
• Dependence of photosynthesis on water temperature
• Dependence of photosynthesis on the number of shoot segments
• Equipment and technical data
• Beaker, 1 l
• Funnel
• Universal holder
• 4 collecting vessels
• 2 rubber stoppers
• 4 color filters (blue, yellow, red, green)
• 4 gray filters
• Instructions on CD-ROM (German)
• Instructions for use or experiments (Germany only, other languages available upon request)
  

Additionally required:

• Light source, e.g. illumination device (DID-42151) as shown in figure
