Detecting Phycocyanin-Pigmented Microbes in Reflected Light
Concentrations are estimated from ratios between spectral radiances.
A recently invented method of measuring concentrations of phycocynanin- pigmented algae and bacteria in water is based on measurement of the spectrum of reflected sunlight. When present in sufficiently high concentrations, phycocynanin- pigmented microorganisms can be hazardous to the health of humans who use, and of animals that ...
