atLEAF+ Chlorophyll meter is a powerful, handheld, easy to use device for noninvasive measurements of the relative chlorophyll content of green leaf plants. Chlorophyll content can be an indicator of the plant’s health and nitrogen uptake levels.
Chlorophyll levels in your leaves are closely related to Nitrogen concentration and can thus allow you to quickly and simply detect and correct potentially devastating deficiencies in a matter of seconds. By being able to instantly determine chlorophyll levels in plants, you are able to monitor and record over time your crops health, make vital fertilization decisions which will not only increase your yields, but also help you to avoid crop failure.
Relative chlorophyll concentration is measured by inserting the leaf of the plant into the device aperture. Green leaves of up to 0.1 inch (3mm) thickness can be measured with just one press of a button.
Can be used with windows compatible software and USB data cable. The software allows to upload species names to the device and to download measurements from the device to the computer through the USB port (software sold separately).

Canadian Journal of Soil Science found "Equivalent performances were observed for SPAD and atLEAF+ values in different environments regardless of crop species. Therefore, the atLEAF+ Chlorophyll meter can be used as an inexpensive alternative to the SPAD-502 meter." Without the $2600+ price tag.
