Eisco’s potometer is an essential tool for studying plant transpiration and humidity levels. Designed with durability in mind, it minimizes glass components by featuring only a capillary tube mounted on a sturdy backing plate. This reduces breakage risk, making it ideal for student use in laboratories or field studies.
The apparatus includes a millimeter-scale capillary tube, a three-way tap, and a syringe for accurate measurement of water uptake. Additionally, a porous pot can be connected to the third outlet to measure humidity. Instructions are included for guided experimentation, making this an excellent resource for botany and environmental science education.
