美國Phenotype Screening公司(PSC)?
PSC公司成立于2004年,2年后其首款產品植物根系X-光掃描成像分析系統RootViz FS面世,并獲得2006年度美國R&D 100大獎。RootViz FS是全球第一款可對根系進行X-光掃描成像分析的系統,具有原位、非破壞性、可控性、效率高等優點,是繼根視系統后植物根系研究領域最激動人心的發明。美國R&D 100大獎被稱為“發明界的奧斯卡獎”,RootViz FS剛一面世即獲此大獎,足見其影響力之大。
Phenotype Screening Corporation is your one-stop partner for plant root system research. Under funding from the US Department of Energy’s Inventions and Innovations Program, we have developed a novel, high-throughput, high resolution and non-destructive system to image and characterize plant roots.
This is the most exciting new development in plant root research since the invention of the rhizotron. Unlike a rhizotron, our system allows for full surface to root tip visualization of all roots. Since our system is non-destructive the same plant can be imaged at different times in its developmental growth cycle. Additionally the same plant can be monitored for plant root system response to stressors.
Suddenly, studying the hidden half has been made easy. Contact us! The playing field has been leveled; the shackles of time consuming and limited-information root measurement methods are gone.
How far can you go when limited only by your imagination and not your instrumentation?
