The (Peltier) thermocouple psychrometer is less suitable for fieldwork. The tissue sample is sealed in a small chamber containing a thermocouple. After an equilibration period a cooling current is applied to the thermocouple in order to condense water on the junction. The amount of condensed water is proportional to the water potential of the tissue. That water is allowed to evaporate causing a change in the thermocouple output. That output is calibrated for water potential, using salt solutions. 2, record 1, English, - Peltier%2Deffect%20psychrometer

Leaf water potential was measured with a pressure-chamber psychrometer and a Peltier-effect psychrometer. Several measurement techniques were used to assess the reliability of the stomatal resistance model. 1, record 1, English, - Peltier%2Deffect%20psychrometer

psychrometer. A device consisting of two thermometers, one of which is covered with a water saturated wick, used for determining relative humidity; for a given set of wet bulb and dry bulb temperature readings, relative humidity is read from a chart. 3, record 1, English, - Peltier%2Deffect%20psychrometer
