The Photographic Plant Root Analyzer is a rapid imaging and multi-parameter automated analysis system designed for batch processing of cleaned roots with diameters exceeding 0.5mm. The complete system comprises a document camera, analysis software (PC-based), and a computer (user-supplied), delivering imaging speeds 20 times faster than scanning models.
Capable of analyzing multiple data points and parameters with accurate and reliable results.
This instrument features dedicated root analysis software with an image capture system.
Supports bulk automated estimation, fully automated root analysis, and primary root extraction analysis. All analysis results are editable and adjustable.
Cloud platform analysis enables saving of analysis images, distribution maps, and result data. Outputs to Excel spreadsheets and supports cloud storage.
Built-in bilingual (Chinese/English) display with one-click switching for seamless operation.
