A method of monitoring health in chlorophyll containing matter comprises exposing the matter to a light source to cause chlorophyll to fluoresce and emit a fluorescence signal. Any changes in a parameter indicative of changes in the intensity of the fluorescence signal are detected and compared with a predetermined threshold. A change which exceeds the predetermined threshold is interpreted as a transition of the level of stress in the chlorophyll containing matter. An apparatus for monitoring health in chlorophyll containing matter is also provided and comprises a light source for causing chlorophyll in the matter to fluoresce, a detector for detecting the intensity the fluorescent signal, means for measuring changes in a parameter indicative of changes in the intensity of the fluorescent signal and a detector to detect an increase in the change of the parameter above a predetermined threshold.

Procédé servant à contrôler la santé d'une matière contenant de la chlorophylle et consistant à exposer cette matière à une source de lumière afin de provoquer la fluorescence de la chlorophylle et l'émission d'un signal de fluorescence. On détecte toute modification d'un paramètre indiquant des modifications de l'intensité du signal de fluorescence et on compare ces modifications à un seuil prédéterminé. On interprète une modification dépassant le seuil prédéterminé comme transition du niveau de stress de la matière contenant de la chlorophylle. L'invention concerne également un dispositif servant à contrôler la santé d'une matière contenant de la chlorophylle et comprenant une source de lumière servant à provoquer la fluorescence de la chlorophylle contenue dans la matière, un détecteur servant à détecter l'intensité du signal fluorescent, des moyens servant à mesurer des modifications d'un paramètre indiquant des variations de l'intensité du signal fluorescent et un détecteur permettant de détecter une augmentation dans la modification du paramètre au-dessus d'un seuil prédéterminé.
