Abstract
An instrument is described for making both fluorometric and spectrophotometric images of plants. The instrument includes two sources of electromagnetic radiation, optical components to direct the radiation, excitation and emission filters, and an imaging device. The instrument can be used to produce high resolution spectrophotometric images of living plants by correcting for water path length.
