Wescor makes an in situ leaf psychrometer for monitoring leaf 
water potential (non-destructive), or sample chambers for 
monitoring leaf discs or entire leaves (destructive).  One chamber is 
designed to determine total water potential, osmotic potential and 
(indirectly) turgor pressure on the same sample.  See:
http://www.wescor.com/environmental/html/l-51.html
and
http://www.wescor.com/environmental/html/c-52.html

You might want to note these options on your web page, Bruce.
Thanks.
