definition: Leaf Optical: Reflected and transmitted radiant energy can be measured for individual or a group of canopy elements (e.g. leaves, needles, branches, stems, cones, etc.) The Se590 is attached to a LI-COR Integrating Sphere. The integrating sphere has a port for a reference standard and a port for the sample to be measured. The sphere has its own lights source that can be placed in three other ports to create reflected, reference and transmitted measurements. Techniques have been developed for measuring samples large enough to completely cover the light source's beam area and for samples that are smaller than the beam area.
