This premium quality clinostat is an essential tool for the study of heliotropism and geotropism. It consists of a motorised disc that can support and protect small plants, seeds or cuttings while they are slowly rotated at four revolutions per hour for even exposure to sunlight, gravity, or other external stimuli. The motor is spindle mounted and can be clamped at any angle between horizontal and vertical. Plants are pinned to a cork pad fixed to the disc with cotton wool soaked with water for moisture. A removable acrylic cover fits over the platform, permitting examination of growth and behavior over time.
