The invention relates to an in-situ detection device for the
chlorophyll concentration of water and a detection method of the in-situ detection device. The in-situ detection device and the detection method aim at solving the problems that in an existing device, the excitation light path can be not adjusted, the
fluorescence intensity is low, and the
fluorescence detection accuracy and sensitivity are low due to scattering generated when water contains lots of impurities. A
water sample chamber water inlet device is arranged at the bottom of a
quartz water sample chamber, a stainless steel shell is arranged outside the
quartz water sample chamber, a
detector, a
light filter and a focusing lens are arranged over the
quartz water
sample chamber, a
light source, a
light source transverse adjustment support, a
light source transverse adjustment mechanism and a light source direction adjustment mechanism are arranged on the side face of the quartz water
sample chamber, and the
detector, the light source, the light source transverse adjustment mechanism and a light source incidence angle adjustment mechanism are connected with a host through wires. The method includes the steps that water
background fluorescence signals measured under the off-state of the excitation light source are collected, then water
fluorescence signals under the on-state of the excitation light source are collected, and
background fluorescence interference is automatically subtracted through operation.
