Introduction
Root development and
function are vitally
important for plant
adaptation to an
environment. The CI-602
In-Situ Root Imager helps
examine root activity and
health, which are critical
indicators of plant or crop
performance. The CI-602
leads the fine root-
imaging field by capturing
non-destructive, high
resolution, digital images
to observe the
development and function
of a plant’s root system.
The images collected by the CI-602 can be
imported and analyzed with CI-690 RootSnap! root
image analysis software.
The CI-602 has the following features and
specifications:
•Linear scanning with no distortion
•Very portable and quick operation
•USB interface for tablet computer image
storage

•Super high-resolution image up to 86.9
million pixels
•Each scan provides a 360°image (21.59 cm
x 18.03 cm)
•Allows observing root growth and behavior
during an entire growing season or longer
The CI-602
provides an
underground, high
resolution, color
image of the living
roots in the soil.
This enables the
observation of root
growth and
behavior over time.
It is easily
operated using a
tablet or laptop and
the In-Situ Root
Imager software. The CI-602 is specifically designed
for long-term root studies on living plants in the field.
The root tubes should be installed in the field prior to
the growing season. When the plant begins to build
a network of roots, images of the structure and
behavior of the roots can be recorded, such as in the
root image to the right, courtesy of Dr. Dylan Fischer
at The Evergreen State College, Washington, USA.
