Plant Physiology
Potometer, Simple
A glass tube with stopper at both ends. The bottom stopper has a mm graduated capillary tube while the top has two holes one for a glass tube to accommodate plant shoot through a rubber tube and the other for a 2 ml syringe to adjust air bubble during the setting up.

Plant Physiology
Potometer and Atmometer
For investigating transpiration. Measures the uptake of water by a cut plant shoot. The cut shoot may be replaced by a porous pot filled with water which enables measurement of the rate of evaporation from a moist surface, thus giving indication of relative humidity. Comprises a capillary tube with mm scale connected to a syringe and an outlet via a three-way stopcock. The syringe enables adjustment of air bubble during set-up, the outlet is connected to the cut shoot or porous pot, mounted on strong vertical plate.

Plant Physiology
Potometer, Ganong’s
To demonstrate rates of transpiration and of water absorption by a cut shoot, with a graduated capillary tube bent down at right angle at one end with a small orifice and having water reservoir with glass stopcock and the end tube with rubber stopper for the plant shoot at the other end, on base.

Plant Physiology
Potometer, Thoday
A glass tube 15 mm dia with a side arm leading to a thistle funnel in rubber tubing has both its ends tapered and bent at right angles. One end would accept plant stem and the other is connected to a capillarity tube with mm scale, mounted on an L shaped stand.

Microburette
For measuring and sampling gas given off by aquatic plants e.g. Elodea. Comprises a bulb tube graduated 0 to 150 mm into which the cut end of the shoot is inserted. A 5 ml syringe is provided at top to draw gas collected in the burette for analysis. Overall height 300 mm.

Plant Physiology
Respirometer, Ganong’s
To measure gas evolved or absorbed by living materials or tissue extracts. A respirometer bulb with a small water reservoir at the bottom and hollow ground glass stopper at top in the neck with a hole which can be closed or opened by turning the stopper, a graduated burette opening out of the bulb which connects to a leveling tube via a rubber tubing. Respirometer chamber 50 mm dia, burette 180 x 20 mm graduated 0 to 25 ml and 100 to 75 ml, with special clamp for fixing to a 12 mm dia rod.
