AM300 Portable Leaf Area Meter

The ADC AM300 leaf are meter is a compact, user friendly, field portable instrument for the accurate non-destructive measurement of leaf area and associated parameters. The AM300 consists of a scanner and a scanboard with integral data processing. A multiposition carrying handle is provided for ease of use and increased portability. Measurement of leaves can be carried out on the scanboard plate or an independent plain surface.

The large scrolling display screen offers real time graphical display of scanned leaf together with measured leaf are parameters. Measurements may be presented in mm, cm, or Imperial units. Operation is by user friendly menu driven software.

Measurement, together with leaf images, may be automatically recorded on a large internal memory capable of storing over 2,000 sets of data in a number of data files. Time and date of measurements are also automatically stored by the AM300. Internal battery back-up gives increased security to stored data.

Measurements can be reviewed on the display, transferred to a printer or downloaded to a personal computer. Scanned images can be viewed on the display or a suitable printer. The AM300 is supplied complete with an interface cable and downloading software.
