The development of real-time RI imaging system for plant under light environment

We present the real-time RI imaging and analyzing system to study the kinetics of nutrient uptake manner in a living plant. The system allowed light condition for the up-ground part of the plant and continuous dark condition for the root part, therefore, light/dark cycles was set as 16/8 h. There wa...

Description
Summary:We present the real-time RI imaging and analyzing system to study the kinetics of nutrient uptake manner in a living plant. The system allowed light condition for the up-ground part of the plant and continuous dark condition for the root part, therefore, light/dark cycles was set as 16/8 h. There was 9,000 lx of LED lights in an aluminum container where the plant was set. The container was shielded well so that there was no light leakage to damage highly sensitive CCD camera which detected beta-rays from the sample. With this system, RI imaging was able to perform for 6 days without damaging the activity of the plant.
