CI-600 and CI-602 In-Situ Root Imagers
The CI-600 and CI-602 In-Situ Root Imagers are non-destructive scientific instruments used to monitor the root growth and status collecting high-quality images.
Root development and function are vitally important for plant adaptation to the environment. The understanding of root biology is critically necessary to facilitate the improvement of crop performance, especially in the face of environmental constraints.
With a 6.35cm (CI-600) or 5cm tube (CI-602) for the root scanner to be inserted into the ground, the In-Situ Root Imagers provide high quality imaging of the root structure.
The CI-600 and CI-602 enable researchers to capture non-destructive, high resolution, digital images to observe the development and function of a plant’s root system.
