Description
With high-resolution CT systems, plant tissue samples can now be imaged at cellular resolution in a laboratory environment. Applications include the study of plant development and organ morphogenesis, as well as mathematical modeling of various processes such as transport phenomena. The simplicity of sample preparation, moreover, allows for broader accessibility and preserves the native structures of plant specimens, therefore avoiding complicated interpretation of the results. The complete information about any plant sample, from macroscale to nanoscale, can be easily acquired in a non-destructive manner, thus enabling visualization and quantification of cellular features and intracellular spaces on a daily basis.
