Le coût des équipements est établi en fonction du type d’utilisateur (IRHS, membre de la SFR QuaSaV, autres académiques, privés, du temps d’utilisation et du niveau d’accompagnement de l’utilisateur. Le coût peut prendre en compte des frais de recherche méthodologique.

  • Thermographic NIR Imager
  • 1 FLIR camera is available to capture thermal images of plant samples.
  • Applications: Detection of stress in the aerial parts of plants.
  • Chlorophyll Fluorescence Imagers
  • 3 imagers available, located in S0, S2, or S3 areas.
  • Can image leaves up to 30 cm.
  • Measures various chlorophyll system efficiency parameters.
  • Applications: Detection of physiological disturbances in plants.
  • Hyperspectral Imager
  • 1 HYSPEX imager available.
  • Captures numerous images across narrow spectral bands to infer physiological changes in plants.
  • Whole-Plant Imaging System with Rotating Platform
  • RGB imaging system.
  • The plant is placed on a calibrated rotating platform, enabling 3D reconstruction of imaged points.
  • Applications: Measurement of architectural parameters for large plants (e.g., roses).
  • Shape Imaging Equipment
  • Time-of-Flight (ToF) cameras, 6-axis Staubli robotic arm with mountable RGB camera, light curtain, and rotating platform.
  • Applications: 3D reconstruction of plant structures.
  • Phenogrid Systems
  • Installed in greenhouse modules (61–92 m²) or growth rooms (10 m²).
  • Ceiling camera networks (RGB, IR, and/or ToF) capture canopy images.
  • Applications: Monitoring aerial development at the canopy level, vertical growth, and stress detection. Suitable for plants of all sizes. Enables high-throughput phenotyping.
  • Phenobean Systems
  • Robotic growth rooms located in S2.
  • Each system comprises two 3-axis robotic arms (with 2 cameras & irrigation, plus weight scale & QR code reader).
  • Cameras include RGB, chlorophyll fluorescence, and ToF.
  • One Phenobean is equipped with an integrated Phenogrid system and 4 additional degrees of freedom for the camera arm, enabling 3D imaging.
  • Suitable for small and medium-sized plants.
  • Maximum capacity per Phenobean: 1,600 small plants (Arabidopsis) and 500 medium plants (up to 40 cm, e.g., beans, tomatoes, seedling apple trees).
  • Applications: Screening plant responses to products (SDP/biostimulants), microbial strains, under optimal and sub-optimal conditions.
  • RGB imagers are positioned above the germination table.Applications: Characterization of seed imbibition, germination, and early seedling elongation.
