As nematodes pass through the flow cell axial length, extinction, and fluorescence are simultaneously measured using a pair of lasers.
The Biosort measures and records up to four attributes for each individual: time of flight (TOF), which relates to nematode length; extinction (EXT), which corresponds to the optical density; and two fluorescence measurements.
The COPAS was used to record three attributes for each individual nematode: time of flight (TOF), which corresponds to nematode length; extinction (EXT), which corresponds to the optical density; and GFP fluorescence intensity.
The Lambert-Beer law gives the relationship between the light extinction after a path length r within a generic medium showing both absorption and scattering effects: (1).
That is, the system either survives and approaches its intrinsic equilibrium or it dies out; the probability of extinction increases with the length penalty parameter.
This model is parameterised with species-specific information about extinction coefficients and mean crown length, diameter, height and leaf area.
SD components and were always 2 min in length, while SΔ (extinction) components were either 1 min or 4 min in length; responses in SD were reinforced on one of four schedules.
With the increase in plant density: the erectness of the upper leaves and stem length increased, the extinction coefficient decreased and commercial spear (inflorescence plus a portion of stem 10 cm long) weight decreased (but it was due to the stem portion of the spear and not to the edible portion).
Fluid specimens were taken after ten and twenty minutes to be compared by photometric extinction measurement at a wave length of 500 nm.
