Contrary to the 700F LED where the camera is mounted on top of the instrument and images are taken from above, on the 700F LED the cameras are side mounted. This is the method of choice to monitor luminescence and fluorescence signals in leaves and shoot meristems.Yet, in many research projects it is necessary to monitor gene expression in roots and shoots and correlate to growth morphology. In order to not disturb the gravitropic behaviour the seedlings have to be maintained upright in their natural vertical orientation. The laterally mounted camera and the rotating table holding the trays with the seedlings in a vertical orientation are the solution. Videos from sequence measurements can be instantly created within a video software. Multiple or multiday measurements are managed through a scheduler, so that the software doesn’t need to be active all the time. Thanks to the powerful batch manipulation features e.g. small changes in the scaling can be applied to other images within seconds
