A high-throughput, high-resolution phenotyping platform combines laser optics and serial imaging with 3-D image reconstruction and quantification to understand plant anatomy.
LAT root phenotyping began in 2012.
The Laser Ablation Tomography (LAT) system was developed by the Roots lab, including former student Ben Hall who has created a company focusing on this technique (L4IS). Two LAT systems are in use:
Laser Ablation Tomography 2.0
Laser Ablation Tomography 1.0
