This release utilises the same circuitry as used in a recent publication with Open-JIP configured as a flow-through fluorometer. There are a number of changes to the form and functions of Open-JIP that improve both its reliability and its accuracy.

Updates are as follows:

  1. Teensy microcontroller - for increased memory size (longer acquisitions) and increased speeds (more data points during the fast rise of chlorophyll fluorescence).
  2. Circuit board re-design - surface mounted (SMD) components and new amplifier/actinic circuitry.
  3. Integrated mirrors - to direct emitted photons to the detector.
  4. New 3D-printed case - no glue needed but can be added to improve robustness. Provides a steady platform upon which measurements can be taken.
  5. Improved documentation - should allow new users to feel comfortable creating the device from scratch.
