Apogee Instruments MQ-610: 400-750 nm ePAR Meter Features
-
DR BRUCE BUGBEE: Apogee PAR meters have been designed and refined by Dr. Bruce Bugbee, a world-famous crop physiologist.
-
NEW ePAR RANGE: Lab-grade measurement reveals photosynthetic activity from 400-750 nm, expanding beyond the traditional 400-700 nm PAR range. Dr. Shuyang Zhen and Dr. Bruce Bugbee spearheaded the defining research. The MQ-610 accurately measures far-red photons (700-750 nm), vital for next-gen LED fixtures, sunlight, and other sources not captured by standard PAR meters.
-
PREMIUM QUALITY: The MQ-610 is preferred by scientists and serious growers for accurate PAR measurements. Our meters stay accurate and reliable while other budget PAR meters can have readings drift by over 50%.
-
RUGGED DESIGN: The sensor head is made of machined aluminum and fully potted, making it waterproof and rugged. The tangle-free cable facilitates measurements over a large plant canopy, while still allowing the user to view the high-contract display screen.
-
MANUFACTURED IN THE USA: All meters are backed by our four-year warranty and supported by our US-based customer support team.
About Apogee Instruments MQ-610: 400-750 Nm EPAR Meter
Apogee MQ-610 ePAR Meter Designed for scientists and serious growers by world-renowned crop physiologist, Bruce Bugbee, PhD, the Apogee MQ-610 ePAR meter has many applications in the worlds of horticulture, gardening, and agriculture. Product includes a complimentary Apogee neoprene carrying case. Trusted ePAR/ePPFD Meter Scientists and serious growers all over the world trust the MQ-610 ePAR meter to accurately measure extended photosynthetically active radiation levels from all light sources, which is critical to plant growth and quality. The ePAR meter has a handheld display to display and store measurements. The sensor contains a precision silicon photodiode detector, a custom optical filter, and an acrylic diffuser all housed in a self-cleaning, dome-shaped, anodized aluminum sensor head. Multiple Applications Typical applications of the sensor include measuring total ePAR intensity over plant canopies in outdoor environments, greenhouses, and growth chambers, as well as reflected or under-canopy (transmitted) measurements in the same conditions. Many next-generation LED fixtures, the sun, and other light sources emit these newly confirmed far-red photosynthetic wavelengths, but they have not been measurable by traditional 400-700 nm PAR meters until now. Three Modes The meter has a spot measurement, sample, and log mode and will record an integrated daily total in mol m-2 d-1. Sample mode will record up to 99 manual measurements and log mode will power the meter on and off to make a measurement every 30 seconds. Every 30 minutes, the meter will average the sixty 30 second measurements and record the averaged value to memory, up to 99 averages. Once full, it will overwrite the oldest measurements with new ones. A daily light integral will be recorded from the 48 averaged measurements for a day’s worth of readings and is downloadable via an Apogee AC-100 cable.
