About This Product
Because the capillary lies flat, the movement of the air bubble can be read directly against the scale as the shoot draws water. Opening the stopcock refills the tube from the reservoir, so several runs can be made under different light, air movement or humidity. Schools, colleges and institutes in Mozambique, Peru, Solomon Islands, Haiti, Bahrain and Bhutan can order the Ganong’s Potometer from Educational Instrument.
