About this product
The CID BioScience Portable Laser Area Meter CI-203 is a cutting-edge device designed to measure the surface area, length, and width of large leaves and other flat objects using advanced laser technology. With its non-contact measurement capabilities, the CI-203 allows for quick, accurate, and non-destructive analysis of leaves, making it ideal for plant researchers, agronomists, and environmental scientists. The lightweight, portable design of the CI-203 makes it suitable for both field and laboratory work, allowing for efficient data collection in any environment. This meter provides highly precise measurements, making it an invaluable tool for tracking plant growth and assessing leaf characteristics.
The CID BioScience Portable Laser Area Meter CI-203 is designed for professionals who require quick and accurate measurements of leaf area and dimensions. It features a highly sensitive laser scanner that captures the shape and size of leaves without physical contact, making it perfect for fragile or irregularly shaped specimens. This non-destructive measurement method is especially useful in research settings where plant health and preservation are priorities.
The CI-203 comes with an intuitive interface and a digital display that immediately shows the measurements of each leaf. With internal memory and USB data export capabilities, the device allows for easy data storage and further analysis on a computer. The CI-203 is also equipped with software that facilitates the transfer of data and provides options for detailed analysis, making it a versatile tool for both field and lab research.
Researchers can use the CI-203 to make non-destructive measurements on leaves of living plants, enabling data collection on a leaf or plant throughout its life span. Graphical outline of the leaf shape is provided upon completing a scan, which provides verification that measurements are calculated accurately on even the most intricate leaf shapes. Built-in GPS tagging adds a location for each data point, and the removable Wi-Fi SD card provides an easy and fast way to download data to your computer. For rapid measurement of detached leaves, the CI-203CA conveyor attachment makes a perfect complement to the CI-203 and there is a discounted price for buying the two together.

User Guide for CID BioScience Portable Laser Area Meter CI-203
1. Powering On
Press the “Power” button to turn on the device.
The display screen will show the default measurement mode, ready for use.
2. Selecting Measurement Mode
Use the control panel to choose between different measurement options such as area, length, or width.
You can also adjust settings based on your specific requirements, such as resolution or data logging.
3. Taking a Measurement
Place the leaf or object in the scanning area of the CI-203.
The laser will automatically scan the object as you pass it through, creating a digital image for analysis.
The results (area, length, width) will be displayed on the screen once the scan is complete.
4. Storing and Exporting Data
The CI-203 stores multiple measurements in its internal memory, which can later be exported to a computer.
Connect the device to a computer via USB to transfer the stored data.
Use the provided software for further data analysis and reporting.
5. Calibration
The CI-203 comes factory-calibrated, but it is recommended to check calibration periodically for maximum accuracy.
Use the calibration tools provided with the device to verify its accuracy, following the steps outlined in the user manual.
6. Cleaning and Maintenance
After each use, wipe the scanning area with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust or debris that may affect the laser’s accuracy.
Avoid using liquids or harsh cleaning agents near the laser.
Store the device in its protective case when not in use to prevent damage from environmental factors.
7. Battery Replacement
The CI-203 is powered by rechargeable batteries. Ensure the batteries are fully charged before use, especially during fieldwork.
Regularly check the battery level and replace or recharge as needed to maintain continuous operation.
By following these steps, the CID BioScience Portable Laser Area Meter CI-203 will provide accurate and reliable leaf measurements, making it an essential tool for plant research, agronomy, and environmental studies.
What does the CID BioScience Portable Laser Area Meter CI-203 measure?
The CI-203 measures the surface area, length, and width of large leaves or flat objects using laser scanning technology. It provides precise, non-contact measurements, making it ideal for research in plant physiology and agronomy.
How does the CI-203 work?
The CI-203 uses a laser scanning system to capture the dimensions of a leaf or object as it is passed through the device. The laser creates a digital map of the leaf’s surface, which is then used to calculate the area, length, and width.
Can the CI-203 be used on leaves of any size?
Yes, the CI-203 is designed to measure large leaves and objects. The non-contact laser scanner allows for the measurement of objects that may be too delicate or irregular for traditional measurement tools.
Is the CI-203 suitable for fieldwork?
Yes, the CI-203 is lightweight and portable, making it ideal for use in the field. Its rugged construction ensures it can withstand outdoor conditions, while its laser technology provides accurate results without direct contact with the leaves.
How accurate are the measurements taken by the CI-203?
The CI-203 offers exceptional accuracy, with measurements up to ±0.2%. Its laser technology ensures precise and consistent results, making it suitable for scientific research and professional use.
