3D Agricultural Research with High-Resolution Episcopic Microscopy

Create perfectly aligned high resolution 3D morphology stacks of agricultural samples with High Resolution Episcopic Microscopy(HREM).

Overview

High Resolution Episcopic Microscopy(HREM) is an imaging technique be used to image a variety of samples. The technology allows for imaging dense samples in high detail and depth, which makes it a great tool for agricultural research. Image whole samples such as plant matter or animal tissue.

Applications in Agricultural Research

  • Plant Morphology

    • Citrus Fruit: Examine the internal structure of citrus fruits to assess quality, detect defects, and study the effects of different growing conditions.

    • Barley: Analyse the developments of barley grains barley in high resolution.

  • Embryology

    • Chicken Embryos: Observe the intricate stages of chicken embryo development, monitor growth patterns, and detect abnormalities.

    • Mouse Embryos: Study the early stages of mouse embryo development, investigate the effects of genetic mutations, and analyse the impact of environmental factors

  • More​

    • HREM can be used to image many structures and sample types.

Benefits of High Resolution Episcopic Microscopy in Agricultural Research

Our Optical HREM Systems

We offer two main systems for performing HREM:

Micro Optical HREM System:

  • Ideal for: Smaller specimens and applications requiring single shot images.

  • Benefits: Cost-effective, compact design, and easy to operate.

  • Applications: Suitable for studying smaller plant and animal tissues as well as individual organs up to 25mm.

Ultra Optical HREM System:

  • Ideal for: Larger samples (up to 60mm), high-resolution imaging, and applications demanding greater throughput.

  • Benefits: Advanced XY scanning capabilities, customizable options, and exceptional image quality.

  • Applications: Well-suited for analysing larger plant and animal tissues, studying embryo development, and conducting high-throughput research.
