Practical: LI-6400XT Portable Photosynthesis System Quick Overview and Leaf Measurement


Delivered on: 21 May 2024


This video provides a comprehensive guide to the LI-6400XT Portable Photosynthesis System, a powerful tool used in plant physiology research. 🌿 Through hands-on demonstrations and clear explanations, we'll walk you through the system's components, setup, operation, and troubleshooting.


What you'll learn:

  • LI-6400XT Overview: We'll introduce the LI-6400XT and its capabilities for measuring gas exchange in plants, providing insights into photosynthesis, respiration, and transpiration.

  • System Components: Get a detailed look at the console, leaf chamber, light source, and control modules, and understand their functions.

  • Setting Environmental Conditions: Learn how to configure the LI-6400XT to control environmental settings.

  • Leaf Chamber Techniques: Master the techniques for clamping leaves, opening stomata, and preventing leaks during measurements.

  • IRGA Calibration and Zeroing: We'll demonstrate how to calibrate and zero the infrared gas analyzer (IRGA) for accurate measurements.

  • Troubleshooting: Learn how to identify and resolve common issues that may arise during LI-6400XT operation.

  • Data Logging and A-Ci Curves: Understand how to log data and generate CO2 response curves (A-Ci curves) to analyze photosynthetic performance.
