Portable Plant CT 3D Imaging System CT Portable

Widely used in the study of internal structural changes of plant seeds and small fruits.The changes in seed cavity, embryo and endosperm of different plants can be explored without loss, and the three-dimensional structure inside the seed and the internal changes of small fruits are measured. The equipment is small and portable, simple to operate, and has two options: medium resolution and high resolution.

High-throughput Plant CT 3D Imaging System CT HTS


The high-throughput plant CT imaging system is equipped with an automatic delivery device. After the plants reach the imaging chamber, they can rotate 360° to imaging. It is suitable for CT imaging experiments of large-scale plant samples and can continuously observe the dynamic changes of plant samples.Suitable for studying plant roots and stems, analysis software automatically separates the soil and roots in potted plants to block soil interference; automatically transfers samples, and operates high throughput;360°Rotate the sample to take pictures; synchronous image acquisition and 3D reconstruction; the device comes with an X-ray shielding layer, which is safe and reliable; different systems can be customized according to the sample size.
