Figure 1.
The RootArray. (a) Image shows the RootArray with 64 wells (b) Cross-section with dimensions of the design features. The wells connect both chambers allowing the roots to grow into the liquid chamber and the shoots to emerge into the gaseous chamber. The upper and lower limits indicate the coverslips that are used to seal the array. The growing roots can be imaged over many hours (c,d). An example is given of an overview image at low resolution (c) and the stitched high-resolution images of individual roots (d).
