The Use of High-resolution Infrared Thermography (HRIT) for the Study of Ice Nucleation and Ice Propagation in Plants
Published on: May 8, 2015
Abstract:
The temperature of a plant in a climatised room depends on the irradiation level. The use of a thermocamera is valuable for the characterisation of the complicated temperature distributions as can be found, for example, on a leaf in an assimilation chamber. Point measurements of temperature are useful only when the temperature distribution over an object is sufficiently known. The measurement of the radiation temperature of an object behind an infra-red transmitting filter is possible. The temperature distribution over a leaf depends on the gradients in irradiation and air humidity to which it is exposed, on local difference in stomatal opening and on air velocity.

Glass-bulb Thermometer:
Glass-bulb thermometers are hollow glass tubes with a bulb tip containing liquid such as ethanol or mercury. Historically, glass bulb mercury thermometers were the standard device to measure body temperature. Today, mercury thermometers are prohibited in many countries due to the hazardous effects of mercury and the risk of exposure if the glass bulb breaks. In general,...
