Lifeasible has a team of experienced scientists and technicians with in-depth knowledge and technical expertise in seed phenotyping imaging. We can develop experimental protocols, determine imaging parameters and analytical methods to meet customer-specific needs and experimental designs. We have accumulated extensive experience in multiple research fields and applications, enabling us to provide professional advice and support.
Phenotypic imaging is a method for analyzing and evaluating seeds using imaging technology. An analysis of high-resolution images and quantitative analysis of seeds can provide information about seed characteristics such as size, shape, texture, seed quality, germination ability, and growth potential, as well as seed quality, germination ability, and growth potential.
Color image imaging captures seed appearance features such as size, shape, color, and texture for quantitative analysis and comparison of phenotypic differences in seeds.
X-rays can penetrate the seed and reveal the internal structure and tissue features. X-ray imaging allows the assessment of a seed's internal structure, embryonic development, and possible defects or diseases.
Near-infrared light can penetrate the seed and is affected by the internal composition of the seed. With NIR imaging, the water content, nutritional status, and distribution of other chemical components of the seed can be assessed.
Different parts of the seed may have different thermal properties. Through thermal imaging, the temperature distribution of the seed can be observed to assess the seed's physiological status and germination ability.
Lifeasible's team offers comprehensive services across the seed phenotyping spectrum, from handling and preparing seed samples to high-resolution imaging, image processing, and result interpretation. We can provide full support from start to finish to ensure a smooth seed phenotyping program.
Seed phenotyping services usually provide high-resolution imaging equipment, such as a color imager, X-ray imager, near-infrared imager,thermal imager, etc. Lifeasible develops an experimental protocol based on the needs and objectives of the study, including imaging parameter settings, sample preparation, and sampling methods.
Lifeasible provides seed sample processing and preparation services, including seed cleaning, screening, and labeling to ensure high-quality imaging data.
Lifeasible can provide services to take images of seeds to obtain various phenotypic characteristics.
Lifeasible can process and analyze the acquired imaging data using image processing and analysis software, including seed size and shape measurement, color and texture characterization, and operations such as image classification and image processing.
Lifeasible, as a reliable seed phenotypic imaging service provider, can meet the needs of our customers and provide valuable information and tools for research and practice in seed quality assessment, crop improvement, and seed breeding.
