LK-1450 Narrow-Tube Multispectral Root Analyzer is based on minirhizotron technology and multispectral imaging technology, enabling in-situ acquisition of high-definition images of plant roots. With its compact main unit design, it is particularly suitable for high-definition multispectral imaging of plant root structures in confined spaces. By embedding transparent minirhizotron tubes in the soil and utilizing an in-situ observation window, the system allows long-term fixed-point monitoring of roots (including root nodules) without disturbing the soil structure or the natural root growth environment. Leveraging multispectral signals (reflection, transmission, and radiation characteristics), it captures root features; through different spectral combinations, it accurately distinguishes live roots from dead roots and extracts key information such as root architecture and distribution patterns. With its supporting professional analysis software, the system can extract and analyze multiple critical parameters of plant roots. This provides researchers in fields such as plant root ecology, stress tolerance, and abiotic stress with detailed data on underground root growth, facilitating in-depth scientific research.
