Rhizotrons are permanent devices used to measure plant roots; they typically have transparent viewing surfaces. These devices use high-resolution cameras to observe root development at the macroscopic or microscopic level. However, installing high-quality rhizotrons can be expensive, particularly when conducting extensive research at a large-scale. Therefore, the creation of affordable rhizotrons that may be used in research locations like the IMPACT OAL is necessary. As a result, Yasmin is creating less costly rhizotrons that can nonetheless record root growth and store the pictures locally or send it to the Cloud.
