An important part of plant science is understanding how plants respond to their environment, so monitoring plant phenotypes is of great importance. CD BioSciences can help customers around the world observe all aspects of plant performance, including size and shape, root structure, growth rate under specific conditions, and more. These data can be used to develop improved and sustainable crops.
During image acquisition, the system is closed to ensure reproducibility of imaging conditions. Lighting in the chamber is generated by a fluorescent light that is diffuse to approximate Lambertian conditions within the imaging chamber. The system uses standard industrial components from reliable manufacturers with worldwide service. PlantScan is able to scan very small seedlings or plants, from a few centimeters to a height of 1.2 m and up to a meter thick, with equal accuracy. Data are captured with their contextual information and collated into one multi-layer data file before being stored in a purpose-built database.
Suitable for: Most plants, sizes ranging from seedling up to 1.2 m in height.
PlantScan provides non-invasive analyses of plant structure (topology, surface orientation, number of leaves), morphology (leaf size, shape, colour, area, volume) and function by utilising cutting edge information technology including high resolution cameras and three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction software. The next generation phenotyping platform, PlantScan captures information on plant structure and function on an industrial scale enabling the discovery of new traits and the selection of varieties for tomorrow's agriculture. PlantScan is composed of a double conveyor belt, manually loaded, with plants held in position on pot carriers. Individual plants are identified by bar code. Plants move into the imaging chamber and are mounted on a rotating scissor-lift platform that ensures the plant is scanned from every angle. A top-imaging system complements the 3D information collected from the sides. After imaging, the plant automatically moves out of the chamber on an additional conveyo
