Phenotype
Screening Corporation will receive your seed samples, germinate them
and grow them in our Plant Growth Container and Substrate sets. These
sets of low density polymeric foam are disease and pest free. All
nutrients, water, stressor materials, disease or pests are under the
control of the experimenter.

root systems grown in our x-ray transparent Plant Growth Container and
Substrate sets can be imaged using one of our low energy digital x-ray
systems.

plant placed in measurement chamber of our small plant system. X-Ray
shutter is on left and camera is on right. When x-ray shutter is closed
all x-ray radiation is safely contained. Cabinet door interlocks
prevent accidental exposure to x-rays.
Complete X-Ray
Systems
Plant
Scientists who have a large throughput requirement or some kind of
proprietary application may purchase complete x-ray systems. Because of
the wide variety of plants and container sizes, each application will
dictate the details of cabinet size, stage travel, etc. Our small plant
system is shown below.
Our
large cabinet system is shown below. This system has been
delivered to Duke University and is in daily use there.
The
large cabinet system features three axes of motion for large
photomontages as well as stereo and multi-angle viewing and has a
larger
area x-ray camera than our small plant system.
Our
x-ray systems are controlled entirely by software, making possible
automated image acquisition sequences of the entire plant container
area.
Because
of the precision and repeatability of our systems, large photomontages
can be accurately and reliably assembled using our support software.
