Fig. 3From: The Microphenotron: a robotic miniaturized plant phenotyping platform with diverse applications in chemical biologyRobotically captured images of Arabidopsis seedlings growing in the Microphenotron. Clusters of 5–7 seed were sown on the surface of each gel-filled well of the Phytostrips and the assay plates incubated in the growth room under standard conditions (as described in "Methods"). a Image of one Phytostrip taken with the overhead camera showing shoots of seedlings 11 days after transfer to the growth room. b Image showing roots of the same seedlings as in a taken with the side camera. c A daily time series showing the stages of germination and growth of shoots and roots in a single well of the Phytostrip, starting 3 days after transfer to the growth room. The red dotted lines illustrate the quadrants into which the root images were divided as part of the automated image analysis (see Fig. 5 and associated text)Back to article page
