Non-destructive, high-resolution root images.

Capture high-resolution digital images of living roots in soil to monitor growth and behavior over multiple seasons with the CI-600 In-Situ Root Imager. Transparent acrylic root tubes installed in the soil allow plant roots growing naturally around the tube to be imaged and measured. The imager, powered by an included handheld tablet, takes 360-degree scans at multiple resolutions and is maximized for speed and precision. Consistent scan intervals are achieved using the collapsible indexing handle. RootSnap! Software, included with the CI-600, enables rapid and accurate analysis and measurement of roots.
