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 />
