CID - Model CI-602 - Narrow Gauge Root Imager

SHARE
Miniaturized, non-destructive root imaging for plant and crop research. Reimagining root researchThe CID Bio-Science Narrow Gauge Root Imager makes high-resolution observation of root growth and behavior simple and non-destructive.Crop optimization: Measure the impact of various treatments on root growth over time, giving a holistic view of plant health. Forest productivity & sustainability: Analyze root growth and competition in forest ecosystems to understand the impacts of established and invasive species. Climate & environmental research: Glean insights into plant response to environmental changes over time by non- destructively measuring selected installations.

RootSnap!, our free image analysis software, allows users to measure root growth and turnover dynamics, disease, and behavior over time by analyzing scanned images collected with the CI-602. Roots are easily mapped and quantified using a multi-touch feature and our proprietary "Snap to Root" function. RootSnap! is intuitive and efficient, using universal commands for images and file manipulation. Files are stored in common open file formats (XML) and the software supports exporting data to apps like Excel for further statistical analysis.
