CI-600 ROOT SCANNER<br />

FOR ROOT MONITORING<br />

The CI-600 Root Scanner is designed to scan<br />

liv<strong>in</strong>g roots <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> soil. It is operated by a<br />

laptop computer. To obta<strong>in</strong> an image, <strong>in</strong>sert<br />

<strong>the</strong> scan head <strong>in</strong>to a pre-<strong>in</strong>stalled Plexiglass<br />

tube. The scan head will automatically rotate<br />

a full circle, creat<strong>in</strong>g a 21.59 × 19.56 cm highresolution<br />

image of <strong>the</strong> soil <strong>and</strong> roots. Users<br />

can move <strong>the</strong> scan head to different depths,<br />

<strong>and</strong> move from tube to tube.<br />

A flat scanner model is also now available.<br />
