Plant Imaging System
PlantView Bioluminescence Imaging Series
BLT-PlantVIew, exceptionally sensitive plant bioluminescence imaging system. The BLT-PlantView100 incorporates a back-illuminated ultra-low temperature CCD camera, renowned for its remarkably high detection sensitivity. The dark cabinet effectively shields the imaging process from external light. The optional Lateral Imaging Module, which features a rotating stage, and the included adjustable plant growth simulation software, facilitates extended multi-site imaging under highly controlled light conditions. This design enhances system performance and reliability. The user-friendly software interface simplifies operation and allows experimental programmes to be pre-set.

As a cost-effective alternative for Chlorophyll Fluorescence Imaging, without light and closed chamber design (as in the BLT-PlantView 100), consider the BLT-PlantView 230F Imager.
For combined imaging of roots in rhizoboxes and shoots, see the fully automated, standardized rhizobox imaging platform.
If root imaging in the RGB range is of interest, consider the manual MR or automatic minirhizotron systems for in situ use.
