Electric Clinostat for Geotropism and Heliotropism

This electric clinostat is designed for studying heliotropism and geotropism by controlling or negating the effects of gravity and light on plant growth over extended periods. The motorized disc rotates at four revolutions per hour, providing even exposure to external stimuli. The spindle-mounted motor housing can be pivoted on its base and clamped at any angle between horizontal and vertical. Plants are pinned to a cork pad on the disc with moistened cotton wool, and a removable acrylic cover fits over the platform to protect seedlings and retain moisture. The unit features metal housing to protect motor components and a sturdy steel base with non-slip rubber feet. Operates on 110/120V AC, 60Hz, with a 6-foot 5-inch detachable power cord. Platform chamber size (with cover) is 4 inches diameter by 3.5 inches high. Overall size is 6.25 x 5 x 11.5 inches. Instructions included.
