Figure 1

A schematic drawing of the dual choice olfactometer (not drawn to scale). X and Y are the glass chambers that hold intact plant while the broken arrows points to the direction of air flow. Air currents were drawn bidirectionally through the central chamber by applying a vacuum in the center of the chamber as shown in the figure. The tapering ends are made of aluminum sheet while the main olfactometer chamber is made of glass perspex.
