Large Fytoscopes are LED-based growth chambers, with full environment control, developed for plant cultivation. They may also be used for animal studies. Large Fytoscopes range in size between Reach-In, Step-In, and Walk-In units. All Fytoscopes are equipped with a programmable controller that enables users to create automated protocols for varying operating parameters, such as timing and intensity of light, temperature, and relative humidity. All Fytoscopes may be provided with additional modules for plant measurements or imaging.
Various day/night cycles with dawn/dusk and cloudy sky effects can be programmed. Fytoscopes may be used for growing a diverse range of plants from Arabidopsis to wheat, corn, or rice. Measured and set conditions are displayed on the touch screen controller situated on the outside of the Fytoscope. All data can be downloaded to a PC wirelessly or via a USB cable. Large Fytoscopes can be fitted with a system for automated watering and nutrient delivery as well as imaging stations for plant phenotyping.

- Rapid modulation of irradiance simulating light flecks as well as precise adjustment of the light intensity from 1 to 100% of maximum.
- Homogeneous illumination over the whole cultivation area.
- Adjustable shelving (optional).
- Optional plant measurement or imaging available.
If clients have their own temperature-controlled space, we can equip this with our Cultivation Banks or Cultivation Shelves both equipped with LED lighting. Cultivation Banks allow precise control of lighting with temperatures maintained from 2oC to 20oC above the temperature of the growth room. They are placed in a temperature control room and allow for multiple experimental setups n the same cultivation area. Cultivation Shelves consist of shelving units with overhead LED light panels. These can be placed directly in the growth space and used for plant growth under precisely controlled light conditions.
