Licor Quantum Sensor
Licor Quantum Sensor

The Licor Quantum Sensor is a ground-based, in situ radiation sensor manufactured by LI-COR Biosciences. It provides accurate measurements of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) under vegetation or in artificial light sources. The sensor measures radiation within the same light spectrum (400 - 700 nm) as the one used by plants for photosynthesis. The Licor Quantum Sensor is typically used for ground-based measurements, but it can be equipped on aircraft as well. It can be utilized for long-term deployments and is durable in high temperature and humidity conditions.
