Imaging Systems for Rhizoboxes & Rinsed Roots
Vienna Scientific offers root imaging instruments for the analysis of washed root samples, or continuous / automated imaging of root systems in Rhizoboxes and "RhizoPots" under controlled conditions in growth rooms, greenhouses and laboratories.
Rhizobox & RhizoPot - (Semi-) Automatic Imaging
Automatic Rhizobox Imaging Platform. The automatic rhizobox imaging platform is designed to automatically phenotype roots and shoots of rhizobox grown plants. In addition to imaging, water use can be accurately determined by weighing and automated irrigation can be applied. The modular and standardized imaging system makes high-throughput rhizobox research infrastructure affordable and scalable. Rhizobox size is fully customizable. Get more information on the design principle of the Automatic Rhizobox Phenotyping Platform.
EM LK-1250 Rhizobox Imaging System. The LK-1250 rhizobox imaging system is designed for semiautomatic digital imaging of the transparent surfaces of individual rhizoboxes. The plant rhizobox imaging system uses a CMOS sensor with 20 MP and LED with adjustable brightness. The system is ready to be used with rhizoboxes of A4 (letter) or custom sizes to efficiently obtain complete, clear and reflectance free rhizobox images. Get more information on the Eco-Mind LK-1250 Rhizobox Imaging System.
EM LK-1600 RhizoPot System. The LK-1600 RhizoPot Scanner System is a flatbed scanner system for automated imaging of roots and rhizosphere in attached A4 (letter) size RhizoPots. RhizoPots are rhizoboxes that are permanently mounted on a scanner flatbed for perfect image quality. The size of the scanning area is A4 (21 x 30 cm, WxH). The LK-1600 image acquisition software allows the user to set the image acquisition resolution, time and naming schemes - enabling automated image acquisition for up to 20 RhizoPots (per control unit) in laboratories, greenhouses and growth rooms.

Imaging of Rinsed Root Systems / Root Sections
AUTOMATED ANALYSIS OF ROOT CROWNS / ENTIRE ROOT SYSTEMS
EM LK-1200 Benchtop Root Analyzer. The LK-1200 benchtop root analyzer is designed for digital rotational imaging of root systems / root crowns after rinsing. Once the sample is mounted, the analyser automatically captures images from any angle - allowing analysis of hundreds of root samples (up to 40 x 30 cm, HxW) per day.

ROOT-BRANCH/ROOT-SECTION IMAGING WITH FLATBED SCANNERS
Epson 2D Root Scanner. Epson flatbed scanners with transparency units are the first choice of root researchers worldwide for reliable analysis of root morphological parameters on rinsed roots. In line with our aim to provide a one-stop-shop experience, Vienna Scientific is offering modified Epson root scanners - including spacers and root scanning trays - ready for root imaging.
Root Scanning Trays
Root Scanning Trays. The use of a root scanning tray that fits the entire flatbed scanner / root imager area has advantages over the use of Petri dishes. Vienna Scientific builds root scanning trays in standard and custom sizes to make full use of scanner areas.
ROOT IMAGING IN THE FIELD / Mesocosms
