THz radiation is absorbed and reflected by water at the same time. This characteristic can be exploited to monitor the water stress conditions of living plants. In this study, a THz imaging system operating in reflection mode has been used to monitor the variations of the water content in a basil leaf detached from the plant. The operation principles of this experimental setup with its components will be described in this research.

Abstract
THz radiation is absorbed and reflected by water at the same time. This characteristic can be exploited to monitor the water stress conditions of living plants. In this study, a THz imaging system operating in reflection mode has been used to monitor the variations of the water content in a basil leaf detached from the plant. The operation principles of this experimental setup with its components will be described in this research.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
