The CI-602 Narrow Gauge Root Imager is a minirhizotron system that captures non-destructive, high-resolution, digital images of living roots in soil over multiple growing seasons. Compatible with root tubes measuring two inches in diameter, the CI-602 gives users the ability to work within new and existing tube installations.

FAQs

Does this product come with a warranty?
All CID instruments come with a 12-month warranty from the point of sale. The warranty covers repairing and replacing defective parts of the instrument that were manufactured directly by CID Bio-Science. The warranty does not cover wear and tear, neglect, misuse, accident, or excessive deterioration. Further, repair and alteration by an unauthorized party voids the warranty. More information can be found in the operation manual of your instrument.

Is the CI-602 waterproof?
The CI-602 is not designed to be waterproof and should not be used underwater. The CI-602 is designed to be water-resistant. Use in light rain is fine, however, there are electronics that can be damaged from water entering the instrument, so it is not recommended to use the CI-602 during heavy rainfall. Furthermore, it should be noted that the tablet provided with the CI-602 is not waterproof and a waterproof case would need to be purchased for use in wet conditions.

What are the minimum and maximum operating temperatures?
You can use the CI-602 root imager in temperatures ranging from -5° C to 55° C.

What different types of researchers use the Narrow Gauge Root Imager?
Crop, forestry, environmental, plant, climate, hydrology, and soil researchers all benefit enormously from the metrics that the Narrow Gauge Root Imager provides.

Do I have to purchase RootSnap! separately?
No! RootSnap! software is free to all users of CID Bio-Science Root Imagers.
