Figure 2From: The RootScope: a simple high-throughput screening system for quantitating gene expression dynamics in plant rootsAn overview of RootScope construction. A heating/cooling block is used to provide temperature control (A). A chamber is placed on the heating/cooling block (B) and a microplate containing the plants to be imaged is placed in the chamber (C). A gasket is placed on top of the chamber (D) allowing the heated glass plate to sit on top of and seal the chamber (E). The resulting stack of components (side view, F) can then be mounted either horizontally (G) or vertically (H-I) on an automated microscope.Back to article page
