Description

Figure 5. Compact luxmeter, used for study of light in air. Simplicity of design and use have joined with greater and greater precision of measurement in this mass-produced industry instrument. Although apparently an instrument used inmeteorology, it is shown here because of the relationship betweensolar radiation and photo synthesis.
