Handy GFPCam FC 1000-H/GFP is a modified version of the popular Handy FluorCam. Its unique construction allows both time resolved chlorophyll fluorescence imaging and GFP imaging. Handy GFPCam is a lightweight, portable system designed for imaging of leaves, small plants, leaf segments, mosses, lichens, seeds, roots, tissues on plates or algal colonies both in a field and laboratory. The typical size of an investigated object is up to 35 × 46 mm.

The Handy GFPCam is an easily portable system, it can be powered from the power supply or it can run on batteries provided in a convenient bag carried on the shoulder.

Handy GFPCam is typically produced with red-orange flashing LED panels (620 nm) and blue actinic/saturating pulse LED panels (455 nm). Equipped with four additional infrared LEDs. Handling of larger leaves (e.g., tobacco) is simplified if an additional leaf clip with gentle lock/release mechanism is mounted. Handy GFPCam generates images of fluorescence signal at any moment of the experiment and presents them using a false color scale. Full kinetic analysis is available. In all applications, the camera allows imaging of fluorescence transients that are induced by actinic light or by saturating flashes. The timing and amplitude of actinic irradiance are determined by user-defined protocols.

The Handy GFPCam is delivered with a laptop computer preinstalled with a comprehensive software package comprising full system control, Wizard with the most frequently used experimental protocols, data acquisition and image processing. For an experienced professional, the software offers a sophisticated programming language that can be used for designing novel timing and measuring sequences.
