Long distance transport and water status in living plants and trees can be studied non-invasively by magnetic resonance imaging.
Our equipment
-
0.7 T NMR Imager (LF-MRI)The LF-MRI is based on an electromagnet system with a 10 cm air gap, equipped with an 1 T/m flat gradients set for optimal accessibility. -
0.2–0.75 T variable field NMR spectrometers (VARNMR)VARNMR is used to study the water status in a wide variety of (bio)porous materials, for example intact plants, plant components (i.e. fruits, seeds,...
