PlantScreen Imaging sensors
PlantScreenTM Imaging Sensors are complete integrated solutions for non-invasive analysis of plant specific patterns of absorption, emission and reflection. Digital trait assesment sensors are based on analysis of wide range of electromagnetic radiation wavelength bands: visible range of spectra is detected by RGB cameras for structural and color analysis, hyperspectral cameras in visible, near-infrared and short wavelength infra-red range of spectra are used for reflectance-based analysis of plants, thermal imaging cameras are optimized for leaf temperature and stomata conductance analysis, kinetic chlorophyll fluorescence imaging sensors for analysis of plant photosynthetic performance.
Industrial high performance cameras with a Gbit Ethernet connection are mounted on robotic arm together with the white LED light source to ensure high speed data transfer and precise color separation. Cameras with high-sensitivity CCD-sensors, high-resolution and broad dynamic range are used.

The advantage of chlorophyll fluorescence measurements over other methods for monitoring stresses is that changes in chlorophyll fluorescence kinetic parameters often occur before other effects of stress are apparent. The method is non-invasive, and the spread of inhibition can be observed and quantified with time. Heterogeneity in the location of inhibition is easily seen and quantified when using imaging systems to measure chlorophyll fluorescence. Chlorophyll fluorescence kinetics measured in the PlantScreenTM Phenotyping Systems provides a wealth of information about a plant’s photosynthetic capacity, physiological and metabolic condition, as well as its susceptibility to various stress conditions.
Key features
Hyperspectral cameras for both visible (VNIR) and short-wavelength infrared region (SWIR) of the spectrum are available. The cameras are mounted on robotic stage with dedicated illumination source for homogenous sample illumination. Full spectral scan across the entire spectral range of the camera for each pixel of the image can be acquired, optionally specific wavelengths of interest can be recorded that may be correlated with, for example, leaf nitrogen status, or the production of anthocyanin to protect Photosystem II under high light stress.
