Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) Fluorometry has become a key technique for the investigatation of changes to the photosynthetic physiology of the dinoflagellate symbionts of reef-building corals, Symbiodinium sp. Dr Roberto Iglesias-Prieto (Unidad Académica Puerto Morelos, Instituto de Ciencias del Mar y Limnología, UNAM) and Dr Peter Ralph (University of Technology, Sydney) coordinated a 3 day workshop focused on the use of PAM fluorometry to dectect and monitor stress in corals and Symbiodinium. A series of papers reviewing key aspects of the method were presented. This review of the technique was followed by hands on training sessions for researchers intending to use PAM fluorometry in their research. After the practical training session, the PAM fluorometry workshop concluded with a discussion of new technological developments in the field of PAM flourometry and the limitations of the method. The focused session on PAM fluorometry was well attended and involved over 40 participants.

Yes the fluorometry is turnout to be a great way to monitory photosynthesis in just about everything. They do it from space now too. This research link in the sig below has a bunch of it.
