General Information organised by Claus Buschmann | |
Botanisches Institut, Universität Karlsruhe | |
The Workshop “Leaf Optics” is intended to bring together scientists from all over the world applying in vivo spectroscopy of leaves in different fields and applications of plant sciences.
Topics:
- Penetration of light into the leaf
- Detection of scattering, reflectance and fluorescence of leaves
Techniques:
- Microscopy
- contact/non-contact close distance measurements
- remote sensing
By restricting the number to a maximum of 30 participants the opportunity for an open and informal exchange of information should be provided. The joint accommodation on the castle of Ebernburg and the pleasant surrounding during the time of vintage provides ideal conditions to make this workshop a success.
The first workshop was held between October 9 and 11, 2006 (see photograph of the participants). The next workshop will be announced later.
