Training Courses

Photosynthesis training courses are offered throughout the year at various locations around the world. Courses provide information on instrument use, theory, data processing, maintenance, and related topics.

Register early, as class sizes are limited and fill quickly. LI‑COR reserves the right to cancel a session 3 weeks prior.

Courses are designed for users who have little or no experience with the LI‑6800, but may also be useful as a refresher for users with more experience. Some of the topics covered during the courses include:

  • Fundamentals of making gas exchange and fluorescence measurements
  • LI-6800 hardware and software introduction
  • Environmental control
  • Making survey and response curve measurements
  • Maintenance, calibration and troubleshooting
