Automated RhizoPot Scanner System

LK-1600 RhizoPot Scanner, a flatbed scanner system for automated imaging of roots and rhizosphere in attached A4 (letter) size RhizoPots - "transparent pots". The depth of the RhizoPots is customer specific, standard depth is 15 cm (please discuss custom depth). The scanner glass serves as the transparent front panel for the individual RhizoPot, allowing perfect, automated root image acquisition in soil or other growth substrates. The RhizoPot/scanner units can be angled in a rack to facilitate root growth on the transparent surface. The LK-1600 can acquire images of root systems at 1200 dpi or 4800 dpi. The LK-1600 image acquisition software allows the user to set image acquisition resolution, imaging intervals, and naming schemes. This allows fully automated image acquisition / root scans at freely set time intervals for up to 20 RhizoPots per control unit in greenhouses, growth rooms and climate chambers. For efficient and accurate background segmentation of root images, the LK-1600 kit also includes the DeepLabv3+ root image segmentation software, which uses a deep learning algorithm for root segmentation. For a quote, please indicate how many RhizoPot-Scanner units you aim for (n = 5-20 per control unit) and if you are looking for a custom RhizoPot depth. Please get in contact to discuss details.
