Description

Standardized measurement of floral reflectance spectra using fiber optic probe positioned at fixed distance and angle from flower surface. Spectra collected across 300-700 nm range for input into visual models.

Typical Equipment

  • Avantes model 2048 spectrometer
  • bifurcated coaxial fiber optic reflectance probe (Avantes FCR-7uv200-2-ME)
  • AvaLight-XE xenon light source
  • diffuse white PTFE tile (Avantes WS-2)

Output Measurements

  • reflectance spectra
  • spectral data 300-700 nm
