[0047] EMBODIMENT

[0048] As Figure 1 shown, a phytoplankton photosynthetic activity turbidity correction method, the specific steps are as follows:

[0054] 6. Input the correlation coefficient α into the photosynthetic activity turbidity correction model to correct the influence of water turbidity scattering in the study area on the photosynthetic activity of phytoplankton.

[0055] As shown in Figure 2 , a phytoplankton photosynthetic activity turbidity correction device includes an excitation and emission optical structure 10, a light source driving module 20, a signal detection module 30 and a main control module 40, the excitation and emission optical structure 10 (as shown in Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 ) includes a light-shielded sample chamber 10a, a light source fixing plate 10d, a lamp bead 10c, a first laser diode 10g, a second laser diode 10k, a light source focusing lens 10b, a photomultiplier tube 10e, a narrow-band filter 10f, a long-wave pass filter 10h, a focusing mirror 10i and a collimating mirror 10j. Figure 8 It is an optical simulation schematic diagram of the excitation and emission optical structure.

[0056] The light source driving module 20, the signal detection module 30 and the main control module 40 are as shown in Figure 3 , wherein the light source driving module 20 includes an operational amplifier 20b, a linear voltage stabilizer 20a, a MOS tube driver 20d, a MOS tube 20c and other peripheral circuits.

[0057] ​The signal detection module 30 includes a double-channel analog switch 30a, an integral amplifier 30b and an operational amplifier 30c, a fluorescence preamplifier 30d, a 16-bit digital / analog converter (sampling rate 1 MSPS) 30e, an FPGA circuit 30f and a USB communication circuit 30g and other peripheral circuits. When the scattered light signal is detected, the double-channel analog switch 30a is switched to the scattered light signal detection channel. The main control module 40 controls the light source driving module 20 to light the lamp bead 10c. The excitation light is converged into a light spot by the focusing lens 10b and irradiates the water sample in the light-shielded sample chamber 10a to form scattered light. The scattered light is received by the photomultiplier tube 10e through the collimating lens 10j, the focusing lens 10i, the long-wave pass filter 10h and the narrow-band filter 10f and is converted into an electrical signal. The electrical signal is amplified by the double-channel analog switch 30a and is received by the 16-bit analog / digital converter 40c of the main control module 40. When the fluorescence dynamic signal is detected, the main control module 40 controls the light source driving module 20 to light the first laser diode and the second laser diode.

The signal is input into the fluorescence dynamic signal detection channel through the double-channel analog switch 30a. The fluorescence signal is pre-filtered and amplified by the fluorescence preamplifier 30d, and then is collected by the high-speed data collection circuit. The collected data is output to the main control module through DMA. The fluorescence dynamic rising process in a single cycle within 200 us can be accurately measured.

[0059] When the scattered light signal is detected, the main control module 40 turns on the 750nm LED through the light source driving module 20, and the photomultiplier tube 10e detects the scattered light signal of the water sample in the light-shielded sample chamber 10a and converts it into an electric signal, which enters the scattered light signal detection channel through the double-channel analog switch 30a, and the integral amplifier 30b integrates and amplifies the current signal, and then the voltage follower buffers and isolates, and is received by the 16-bit analog-to-digital converter 40a of the main control module, and the scattered light signal detection is completed; when the fluorescence kinetic signal is detected, the main control module 40 turns on the first laser diode 10g and the second laser diode 10k through the light source driving module 20, and the excitation light converges into a spot through the light source focusing lens 10b to induce the water sample in the light-shielded sample chamber 10a to produce fluorescence. The fluorescence is converged through the collimating mirror 10j and the focusing mirror 10i, and then the scattered light is removed through the long-wave pass filter 10h and the narrow-band filter 10f, and the fluorescence is converted into an electric signal by the photomultiplier tube 10e. The signal enters the fluorescence kinetic signal detection channel through the double-channel analog switch 30a, and the fluorescence preamplifier 30d pre-filters and amplifies the fluorescence signal, which is then collected by the high-speed data acquisition circuit. The collected data is output to the main control module 40 through DMA, and the precise measurement of the fluorescence kinetic rising process within a single cycle of 200us can be realized.

[0061] The wetland park of Tongling West Lake is selected as the research area, and water samples with different spatial distributions are collected. The original water sample is used as the experimental group, and the original water sample treated by sedimentation, layering and filtration enrichment is used as the control group. First, the device is used to measure the 750nm scattering of the experimental group to obtain a scattering matrix. Then, the device is used to measure the fluorescence kinetic curves of the experimental group and the control group to obtain the initial fluorescence by fitting and inversion. The relative increment matrix of the initial fluorescence is calculated. According to the scattering matrix and the relative increment matrix of the initial fluorescence, the correlation coefficient is calculated, as shown in the formula (1). The correlation coefficient α is 0.001. The correlation coefficient α is input into the photosynthetic activity turbidity correction model to measure the photosynthetic activity of the water samples with different spatial distributions in the research area. The results are shown in the formula (2). After correction, the photosynthetic activity is basically consistent with that of the control group, indicating that the accuracy of the photosynthetic activity measurement results is high.
