Facilities

Incubators: For growing Antarctic phytoplankton at 2°Celcius under computer controlled varying light conditions.
Fluorometer: Turner Designs 10-AU
Used for measuring chlorophyll concentrations and in vivo fluorescense of phytoplankton cultures. Instrument details, calibration info and (JGOFS) protocol here
Chlorophyll Fluorometer: Walz WATER-PAM, used for measuring fluorescence parameters like Fv/Fm, NPQ, qN, qE, qI, ...
Photosynthetron: Custom designed photosynthetron with temperature control and fiber-optic lighting for doing Photosynthesis-Irradiance (PE) curves
Spectrophotometer: Perkin-Elmer Lambda 35, used for phytoplankton and detrital absorption spectra (AP, AD), measuring phosphate concentrations and more.
Liquid Scintillation Counter: Wallac Winspectral 1414, for determining uptake of radiolabeled carbon by phytoplankton.
Server: Sun Enterprise 3500 (ocean.stanford.edu), used for modelling, processing satellite images and much more...
