A New Minirhizotron System Compatible with 2-inch Diameter Tubes!
Observing a root system throughout a plant’s life cycle is key to understanding overall plant behavior and health, and to improving crop performance.
The CI-602 Narrow Gauge Root Imager is a minirhizotron system that captures non-destructive, high-resolution, digital images of living roots in soil over multiple growing seasons. Compatible with root tubes measuring two inches in diameter, the CI-602 gives users the ability to work within new and existing tube installations.
The CI-602 is a durable and lightweight minirhizotron that is easy to transport to any field location and can be used in sites with root tubes across a range of treatments or conditions. Our free root analysis software, RootSnap!, quickly and easily calculates parameters including root length, area, volume, diameter & branching angle.

RootSnap!, our free image analysis software, allows users to measure root growth and turnover dynamics, disease, and behavior over time by analyzing scanned images collected with the CI-602. Roots are easily mapped and quantified using a multi-touch feature and our proprietary "Snap to Root" function. RootSnap! is intuitive and efficient, using universal commands for images and file manipulation. Files are stored in common open file formats (XML) and the software supports exporting data to apps like Excel for further statistical analysis.
