摘要: A test chamber is disclosed for determining the bioluminescent signatures of planktonic organisms in which a light tight has at least one port, and preferably two ports, where photomultiplier tubes are connected to detecting measuring flash kinetics marine organisms. door pivotally mounted on permitting insertion withdrawal an organism sample holder. vacuum tube holder via passageway such that can be excited by means drawing off fluid containing organism. The characteristics then detected measured tubes. Preferably, third port provided where, alternatively, multiplier may connected, or with different orientation respect holder, diaphragm placed across chemical irritants injected into syringe through without entry chamber. outputs used measure instantaneous intensity flashes collected data recorded help identify responsible bioluminescence surface waters worlds oceans.
