PhotosynQ's PARSynQ app measures Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) values under sunlight and LED lights. PAR is the portion of the light spectrum (400 nm-700 nm) utilized by plants for photosynthesis. PAR is measured as micromoles of photons received by a square meter per second (μMol/m2/s).

About

iPhonotype

Features
Read full description

iPhonotype is a mobile plant phenotyping app for researchers, labs, and controlled-environment workflows. Capture structured plant datasets directly on iPhone and organize them into experiments that are ready for downstream analysis. Use iPhonotype to record 3D plant scans, root imaging datasets, environmental light measurements, leaf reflectance readings, and top-view phenotyping sessions from a single mobile workflow. Key capabilities include: • 3D plant scanning and packaged capture sessions • Root capture workflows for dishes, videos, and scanner-style datasets • Environmental light and leaf reflectance measurements • 2D phenotyping workflows for foliage, seed lots, and fruit lots • On-device organization of experiments, sessions, and packaged results • Batch 3D preview building for selected scans, paced to protect device stability • Export of available preliminary traits and segmentation-mask evidence • Sync and handoff to iPhonotype Studio for deeper desktop analysis iPhonotype is built for scientific imaging workflows where traceable capture, organized data packaging, and flexible downstream analysis matter. Preliminary on-device traits support field checks. iPhonotype Studio remains the recommended workflow for final desktop analysis.
