Anyone can perform these diode experiments. Actually you don't even need an ultra high input impedance voltage meter such as the AM240 (sometimes written AM-240). A 100Mohm meter will suffice. Even a cheapo 10Mohm meter will suffice. For example, placing 10Mohms across a charged 4.7uF capacitor discharges by 10% in 5 seconds. If you can acquire the voltage reading in 5 seconds, then the cap only discharged by 10%.
BTW, my Amprobe AM240 meter input resistance was measured at ~ 15Gohms even though the datasheet says 100Mohms. My email discussions with Amprobe has shown that the meter is guaranteed to be *at least* 100Mohms. Also, Amprobe is not so good at documention. In similar Amprobe meter datasheets they actually placed the greater than sign --> "> 100Mohms." In another Amprobe pdf datasheet to specificy the input resistance as 1000 MW (not my typo). Their pdf guy was unsuccessful in creating the ohm symbol. I cannot say for certain that all AM240 meters are 15Gohms. Perhaps theirs a wide variance. I calculated my AM240 by how long it takes to discharge a mylar capacitor.
Anyhow, if people are interested, then by all means buy a bunch of LED's, photodiodes, and high zero bias resistance diodes, solder ~ 1uF to 5uF mylar capacitors to each one, place them in a shielded metal box in a dark room or closet, and take measurements once a day. And please email me the results if possible. :-)
