Wescor's Markhart Leaf Press, model LP-27, is used to extract leaf sap from leaves and then collects the sample directly to a filter paper disc. The disc can then be inserted into a VAPRO or C-52 sample chamber for determination of osmotic potential. The LP-27 reduces errors induced by evaporation of the sample during collection |

Wescor's in situ soil psychrometers, model PST-55 are buried within the bulk soil to determine the soil water potential. The PST-55 has a stainless steel screen to allow only the water vapor to enter the sensor. A ceramic screen is also available as model PCT-55. |
*Discontinued* The standard in water potential measurement, Wescor's Dew Point Microvoltmeter, model HR-33T, can determine water potential using both dew point and wet bulb methods. Its manual operation makes it ideal for teaching students about water potential determination using psychrometric principles. |

Wescor's sample chamber, model C-52, can measure the water potential of solutions, small soil or leaf samples, and leaf discs. The C-52 must be connected to a Wescor water potential instrument such as the PSYPRO, HR-33T, or CR7 for operation. |
Wescor's in situ leaf psychrometers, model L-51 and L-51A attach directly to a leaf to determine the leaf water potential. The L-51A has a smaller vapor chamber than the L-51 that was designed for use with grasses Both leaf psychrometers must be connected to a Wescor water potential instrument such as the PSYPRO, HR-33T, or CR7 for operation. |
