Abstract

Aspects of the application of a five-channel flash photometer with an integrating sphere, operating in the wavelength range 0.3–2.6 μm, to diagnostic monitoring of the state of natural objects in real environments are discussed. The results of laboratory measurements of the transmission and reflection coefficients of plants in the normal and “stressed” states are reported.
