P700 & Chlorophyll Fluorescence Measuring
System
Immediately after its market launch, the DUAL-PAM-100 became the gold standard for parallel recording of
photosystem II and photosystem I activities. The DUAL-PAM-100 excels by its outstanding opto-electronical
properties which are based on the use of latest-generation components and precision engineering.
The basic system consists of a high performance PAM chlorophyll fluorometer to analyze photosystem II,
and a dual wavelength absorbance spectrometer to analyze photosystem I. A ground-breaking pulse-
modulation technique has been developed to measure these two signals concurrently and at outstandingly
high time resolution.
In principle, the system measures a single-channel signal together with a two-channel difference signal. In
the basic system, these two signals are PAM fluorescence of photosystem II, and the absorption change of
photosystem I. The DUAL-PAM-100 is not confined to the analyses of photosystems I and II. For instance,
the accessory “P515/535 emitter-detector module” measures scattering changes as single-channel
absorption signal at 535 nm, and the electrochromic band shift of membrane energization as two-channel
signal with 515 nm as sample and 550 nm as reference wavelength.

Front view of Power-and-Control-Unit DUAL-C of the DUAL-PAM-100 and of the DUAL-PAM FIBER-Version, DUAL-PAM/F.
The DUAL-PAM measuring system is available as MODULAR Version (DUAL-PAM-100) and as FIBER Version
(DUAL-PAM/F). The MODULAR Version has light sources and signal detection located in separate measuring
heads, the sample is placed between measuring heads, and photosystem I absorption changes are
measured in the transmission mode. The FIBER Version has light sources and signal detection in the central
unit, the sample is placed in front of the fiber optics, and photosystem I absorption changes are measured
in the remission mode.
The measuring heads of the MODULAR version can be easily exchanged. Using various accessory modules,
the MODULAR VERSION can measure the electronic band shift caused by membrane energization, NADPH
fluorescence, fluorescence of pH-sensitive dyes, and fluorescence at two different wavebands. The FIBER
version lacks this flexibility but may be advantageous when only photosystem II and photosystem I activities
are of interest.
The MODULAR version of the DUAL-PAM-100 measuring system consists of the Power-and-Control-Unit
DUAL-C which can be combined with various emitter and detector heads. Due to novel opto-electronic
components, especially developed for the DUAL-PAM-100 measuring system, all emitter and detector units
are very compact and easy to handle.
The MODULAR Version can be operated with blue or red fluorescence excitation light. When high sensitivity
of fluorescence detection is required, the Photodiode Detector DUAL-DPD and the even more sensitive
Photomultiplier Detector DUAL-DPM can replace the standard measuring head.
Near infra-red emitter unit (left; DUAL-E) and detector unit (right,
DUAL-DB) connected to a special optical unit for measurement of
suspensions (ED-101US/MD).
Generally, the MODULAR version provides a very flexible design of the measurement setup depending on
the scientific question posed. The subsequent table compiles a number of typical measurement setup of
the DUAL-PAM-100.
Basic PS II: Chlorophyll fluorescence. Excitation blue (460 nm) or red (620 nm). Emission > 700 nm
Emitter DUAL-E PS I: Dual wavelength absorbance. Sample wavelength 830 nm. Reference wavelength 870 nm
Detector DUAL-DB or DUAL-DR
Acridine Orange (AO) fluorescence emitter-detector module: PS II: Chlorophyll fluorescence. Proton gradient:
Emitter DUAL-EAO Excitation red (620 nm). Fluorescence of pH sensitive dye.
Detector DUAL-DP515 Emission > 700 nm. Excitation, blue (455 nm).
Add-on: Detector DUAL-DR or DUAL-DPD Emission, green (500-570 nm)
The power and control unit of the FIBER version, DUAL-PAM/F, contains all actinic and measuring light
sources as well as the photodiode signal detector. Fiberoptics is used to guide light from the power and
control unit to the sample, and to direct light from the sample back.
Several articles in our internet journal (PAM Application News, PAN) inform about the wide range of
application of the DUAL-PAM-100 measuring system and important aspects of saturation pulse analyses of
PS I and PS II.
The 90 Degree Measuring Head Holder DUAL-H90 and special optical filters were employed to measure
PAM fluorescence simultaneously in the spectral range below 700 nm (sw) and above 700 nm (lw). The
experimental setup showed that sw fluorescence was more variable, resulting in higher PSII photochemical
yields compared to lw fluorescence. The apparently higher PSII photochemical yields can be explained by
low levels of constant photosystem I fluorescence in the sw spectral window. In the lw range, PSII
photochemical yields are underestimated because of higher photosystem I background fluorescence.
New NADPH/9-AA module for the DUAL-PAM-100: Description, operation and examples of application.
By Ulrich Schreiber and Christof Klughammer.
The NADPH/9-AA module is a new accessory of the DUAL-PAM-100 system which excites fluorescence at
365 nm and detects fluorescence in the 420 to 580 nm range. The new module permits measuring of light-
induced changes of NADPH fluorescence in suspensions of isolated chloroplasts, algae and cyanobacteria.
Technical features of the module are outlined and examples of application are introduced. Also
simultaneous measurements of chlorophyll (Chl) and NADPH fluorescence are presented. It is show that
saturation pulses can serve for estimating the extent of NADP reduction in the steady state.

The fate of excitation energy in PS II is comprehensively described by the complementary quantum yields
Y(II) + Y(NPQ) + Y(NO) = 1. It is shown that the simple expressions for Y(NO) and Y(NPQ) proposed by Genty
et al. (1996), which do not contain Fo', are fully equivalent to the much more complex expressions of
Kramer et al. (2004) and are valid for both lake and puddle models. The practical meaning of the
complementary quantum yields is discussed.

Monitoring the effects of reduced PS II antenna size on quantum yields of photosystems I and II using
the DUAL-PAM-100 measuring system. By Erhard Pfündel, Christof Klughammer and Ulrich Schreiber.
The DUAL-PAM-100 is employed to analyze Chl b-less barley leaves (Hordeum vulgare cv. Donaria mutant
chlorina-f2 2800) and the corresponding wild-type leaves. The results show that the small PS II antenna size
in the mutant affects both, PS I and PS II photochemistry.

DualPAM Software
The DualPAM software has been optimized for user-friendliness and efficient management of dual channel
measurements. The software automatically calculates classical fluorescence ratio parameters as well as
more recently suggested fluorescence parameters which consider energy transfer between photosystem II
units.
Further, the software executes saturation pulse analysis of photosystem I to derive information on the use
of energy in this photosystem (Klughammer and Schreiber, 1994, Planta 192: 261-268).

All data are automatically saved in an extensive report file, from
where they can be stored on hard disk or exported into a spread-
sheet program (like Excel). All changes of settings are documented.
The report includes slow kinetics recordings as well as the fast
kinetics files for each individual saturation pulse, thus allowing very
thorough analysis of the saved data. The report can be edited by the
user. Explanatory comments can be added.
For fluorescence measurements with leaves. The holder positions two measuring heads so that their optical
axes are at right angles to each other. Fluorescence excitation and detection is at an angle of 45 degrees.
Designed for simultaneously recording short and long wavelength fluorescence (DUAL-PAM-100
application), and for assessment of epidermal UV-A screening (MULTI-COLOR-PAM application).
To combine chlorophyll fluorescence and P700 measurements with gas exchange measurements using the
Walz GFS-3000 gas exchange system, we have developed the DUAL-PAM-100 gas-exchange cuvette (3010-
DUAL).
For measurements with suspensions using 10 x 10 mm fluorescence cuvettes, we provide a black aluminum
unit (ED-101US/MD). The unit holds the fluorescence cuvette in its center and has four light ports to connect
standard measuring heads of the DUAL-PAM-100 or alternative fluorescence detectors. A two-part black
cover of the cuvette compartment with syringe port is provided.
For measurements of leaves or suspensions using the low-drift accessory for DUAL-K25. Employing a high-
quality rack and pinion drive, the system adjusts precisely and smoothly the distance between two
measuring heads, for example, measuring heads DUAL-DB(-DR) and DUAL-E, or measuring heads DUAL-
DP515 and DUAL-EP515.
Exact light measurements in suspensions (but also in air) can be carried out by the spherical micro
quantum sensor (US-SQS/WB). The sensor has a small, 3.7 mm diameter sphere as the entrance optics.
When the sensor is connected to the DUAL-PAM-100 control unit (DUAL-C), light intensity data will be
acquired and processed by the DualPAM software.
The DUAL-DPD is used when fluorescence levels of suspensions are too low to be accurately detected by
the DUAL-DB or DUAL-DR heads. Compared to the two latter units, the DUAL-DPD detector is about tenfold
more sensitive permitting measurements down to concentrations of 5 µg Chl/L using the blue modulated
excitation light of the DUAL-DB head. Normally, the DUAL-DPD is mounted on the ED-101US/MD optical
compartment right-angled to the DUAL-DB or DUAL-DR head.
The outstanding sensitivity of the photomultiplier DUAL-DPM exceeds the performance of the DUAL-DPD
photodiode. Using the DUAL-DPM in conjunction with the DUAL-DB unit, which provides blue modulated for
fluorescence excitation, allows reliable measurements of suspensions with chlorophyll concentrations
down to 0.5 µg/L. Like the DUAL-DPD photodiode, the DUAL-DPM is mounted on the ED-101US/MD optical
compartment right-angled to the DUAL-DB or DUAL-DR head.
Settling of particles is prevented by using a miniature magnetic stirrer (US-MS). The stirrer is mounted
directly beneath the sample cuvette. A rotating magnetic field created by the stirrer tip moves a miniature
magnetic stir bar in the cuvette. The stirrer is connected to the DUAL-PAM-100 control unit (DUAL-C).
Stirring can be switched on and off by the DualPAM software.
The US-T unit consists of a heat-transfer head with a cooling/heating Peltier element, and a separate power-
and-control unit. The heat-transfer head is mounted on top of a Walz optical unit (ED-101US-type) so that
the tip of the rod is in touch with the suspension being investigated. The maximum temperature difference
relative to the ambient temperature is -12 K and +15 K, respectively.
When leaf samples are smaller than the crossectional area of the measuring beam, the measuring light
bypassing the leaf diminishes the P700 signal quality. To prevent the negative effects of bypassing
measuring light, we offer a set of optical pinholes (DUAL-OP) to adjust the crossectional area of the
measuring beam to the sample area.
For measurements under defined temperatures, a temperature control block (ED- 101US/T) can be
mounted on the optical unit (ED-101US/MD). The block consists of an inner flow-trough metal part which is
slightly pressed on the sample cuvette by a spring mechanism, and an external foam part for temperature
insulation. Temperature control is achieved by an external flow-through water bath (not included)
connected to the temperature block.
Usually, the MODULAR version of the DUAL-PAM-100 illuminates the sample from two sides. When one-
sided illumination is needed, the P700 emitter DUAL-E is connected via the adapter DUAL-TW to the Power-
and-Control-Unit DUAL-C.
By employing a vertical optical pathway the DUAL-K25 quartz glass cuvette reduces baseline drifts caused
by particle settling in suspensions of isolated chloroplasts, unicellular algae and cyanobacteria.
The DUAL-BA has been designed for high throughput leaf measurements. For fast sample change, a leaf is
positioned in front of the fiberoptics by a spring steel sheet. The rectangular bended spring steel is fastened
by a neodymium magnet located at the side of the fixture holding the fiberoptics end piece. The spring steel
is moved in a guide slit. The DUAL-BA includes a stand with fiberoptics guide.
The suspension cuvette includes a 400 μl sample compartment made of stainless steel with PVC exterior.
The cuvette is equipped with a 7 mm fiberoptics window adapter, an injection port for Hamilton syringes,
and nozzles for connecting an external flow-through water-bath for temperature control.
The device is equipped with a specially modified stirrer plate to center and hold the KS-2500 Suspension
Cuvette. The MKS-2500 Magnetic Stirrer comes with a Perspex base plate with stand bar for mounting
fiberoptics on top of cuvette.
