Simply position the CI-110 under the desired leaf canopy. The auto-leveling fisheye camera lens ( 150° ) displays a live image of the canopy for accurate data collection. Once you have captured the desired canopy image, software-driven analysis manipulates any data portion you desire, making manual image masking obsolete.

Calculations Performed:

* Leaf Area Index ( LAI)
* Mean Foliage Inclination
* Sunflecks - The fraction of visible sky from below the canopy
* Photosynthetically Active Radiation ( PAR)
