(Self-contained Systems) are bench top solutions for the automated high-precision plant image-based monitoring of small and mid-size scale plants (e.g. Arabidopsis, young tobacco and crop plants). Compact design systems for low-throughput applications with manual sample loading, which can integrate different imaging sensors for comprehensive automated plant morphological and physiological phenotyping. The PlantScreen™ SC Systems are configurable and easy-to-move if relocation of the unit is necessary.
