Portable pressure chamber for manual camera-assisted monitoring of leaf water potential.

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a detailed description of the assembly and components of a pressure chamber used to measure leaf water potential in leaves, particularly in african mahogany. The assembly and components of this pressure chamber were specifically designed for field experiments. The image capture camera plays a crucial role in recording changes occurring in the sample during measurements. It can also be coupled with image analysis devices to quantify alterations in leaf cells and stomata under varying pressure levels. A cylindrical acrylic support ensures the stability of the camera during the procedure, providing additional protection. The pressure chamber assembly is designed to securely accommodate leaves during measurements, facilitating the manipulation of gas levels and enabling the
