About This Product
A potometer is used in plant physiology to measure how fast a cut leafy shoot takes up water, which gives a close estimate of the rate of transpiration. Students fit the shoot, note how far the water moves along the graduated tube in a set time, and repeat the reading in still air, moving air, bright light and shade. The readings show how conditions change the rate, and the simple potometer in the same range is used for comparison. School Lab Equipment India can export the Ganong Potometer to education buyers in United States, France, Lesotho, Sudan and Eswatini.
