This is the chart that I created to measure the color of the plant's leaves
Clinostat
The clinostat is the machine I use to simulate the effects of microgravity. Essentially, it disorients the plants by turning them around in a circle. The clinostat rotates slowly, making one revolution in about 20 minutes. The plants are grown in a medium called rockwool and stay in place through plastic compartments that fit into notches on the clinostat.
