The CI-600 In-Situ Root Imager allows researchers to monitor root growth over time, evaluating the effects of different treatments and gaining a comprehensive understanding of plant health. It is also ideal for studying root dynamics in forest ecosystems and tracking plant responses to environmental changes through non-destructive, long-term observations.

Key Features:

• Non-destructive, high-resolution imaging: Capture detailed digital images of living roots in soil across multiple growing seasons.
• High-resolution images: Up to 23.5 million pixels.
• Transparent acrylic root tubes: Installed in soil to allow natural root growth around the tube for accurate imaging and measurement.
• 360-degree scanning: The imager, powered by the included handheld tablet, performs full-circle scans (21.59 × 19.56 cm) at multiple resolutions (100, 300, 600 DPI) with optimized speed and precision.
• Linear scanning with no distortion ensures accurate root representation.
• Real-time monitoring: Root images live-update to the included tablet computer.
• Consistent and repeatable scans: The collapsible indexing handle ensures consistent scan intervals.
• Portable and convenient: Easy to transport to and from root tube installations.
• Long-term observation: Allows monitoring of root growth and behavior over multiple growing seasons.
• Scan window length: 9 1/8″.
• Rapid analysis: RootSnap! Software, included with the CI-600, enables fast and accurate measurement of root parameters.

* Scan speeds for handheld tablet included with scanner. Scan speeds vary with device used to operate scanner.
