Behind the Scenes: Expanding the ScanCorder Capabilities
Driven by our own strategic considerations and the requirements arising from various customer applications, we have expanded the electronic design of the COMPOLYTICS® ScanCorder measuring head. The measurement principle of inverted spectroscopy is particularly well suited not only to the reflectance measurements implemented to date but also to fluorescence measurements, thanks to the sequential illumination…

Why Access to Many Vegetation Indices Matters in Plant Research
Vegetation indices (VIs) are a powerful way to translate optical measurements into meaningful plant traits. In practice, however, different crops, stress factors, growth stages, and research questions often call for different indices. There is no single “best” vegetation index — relevance always depends on the application. Having access to more than 145 vegetation indices from…

Product Launch of ScanCorder VI-VNIR
This week was the big moment: the new ScanCorder VI-VNIR was officially launched and presented to a wide audience of experts at our stand at the European Plant Phenotyping Symposium in Bonn. Visitors to the stand were able to get hands-on experience with the new sensor and vegetation indices calculated in real-time using contrasting sorghum…

Introducing Angular Spectroscopy
The Compolytics ScanCorder, using a sequence of tailored lights, has been extended to illuminate the sample from different angles. This provides additional information about the microstructure of the material. We call this angular spectroscopy. Watch our latest Technology Snippet: https://youtu.be/4FlaYjSP_3g
