Maize seeds imaging by conventional absorption X-ray tomography without and with contrast agents. 12 DAP (Days After Pollination) old maize ear imaged by conventional absorption X-ray tomography and treated without contrast agents (a and b) or with Gadolinium (c and d) or Iobitridol (e and f) contrast agents during 24h prior to imaging. a and c represent transversal section of ear, whereas B and D represent longitudinal sections. 3-D reconstruction of the maize ear (e), and its zoom (f) in which only the brightest pixels are displayed, showing high X-ray contrast in ear vasculature and base of kernel
