Services
The University of Helsinki (UH) node NaPPI has automated high-throughput plant phenotyping (HTPP) facilities with multiple RGBs, thermal imaging set-up and two chlorophyll fluorescence imaging units (Imaging PAMs) for small model plants (Compact system) as well as for large crop plants (Modular system), with capacities for 1080 and 270 plants, respectively. Automation of the plant management and movement to watering and imaging stations allows programming frequent actions thereby providing systematic data collection following plant performance. While HTPP generates large amounts of data, UH NaPPI has engaged with Phenomics data management utilizing the PHIS information system.
At the University of Eastern Finland UEF NaPPI has a wide range of specialized imaging instruments available at its Spectromics laboratory. The UEF NaPPI node houses five hyperspectral cameras covering the wavelength range from UV to midwave IR (250 – 5500 nm), liquid- cooled UV-optimized CCD (200 – 900 nm) and EMCCD cameras, light sources for fluorescence macroscopy, e.g. deep-UV LEDs, powerful and tunable narrowband light source, and three imaging PAMs. As part of the Academy of Finland’s Flagship programme on Photonics Research and Innovation (PREIN) and the UEF Center of Photonics Sciences the instrumentation of the UEF Computational Spectral Imaging group as well as their expertise in computational approaches is available for plant phenotyping purposes.Recent user publications
