Ganong’s Potometer, made from heat-resistant and durable borosilicate glass, is a key lab tool to measure the rate of water uptake (transpiration) in a plant shoot by tracking a moving air bubble in a calibrated capillary tube, helping demonstrate how factors like wind, light, and humidity affect water loss, crucial for biology education and research.
