Phenoscope platform
The Phenoscope is a high-throughput phenotyping device to handle and monitor hundreds of individual pots, each containing a single plant. It is typically used to track vegetative growth under various environments on a large number of genotypes. The pots are rotated continuously (typical cycle of 4 hours) on a closed-circuit track consisting of a series of switchback turns that allow the 700+ plants to be exposed to very homogeneous conditions. Weighing / watering stations allow to monitor and adjust watering and nutrients at every cycle following precise scenarios defined by the user for each pot, while imaging stations are designed to acquire non-destructive phenotypes in the visible and IR range.
The Phenoscope is specifically designed to handle small plants (Arabidopsis) during their vegetative phase and is not (yet) intended to monitor growth in 3D or handle plants beyond flowering initiation. We have shown that the average gain enabled by the Phenoscope (in terms of reduction in the environmental heterogeneity or in the number of replicates needed) was about a factor 3.

Never attribute to evil what can be explained by stupidity
- Daughter: "Daddy, I am coming home to get married.
Take out your check book.
I'm in love with a boy who is far away from me.
I am in California and he lives in New York.
We met on a dating website, became friends on Facebook, had long chats on Whatsapp,
He proposed to me on Skype and now we've had two months of relationship through Viper.
Dad, I need your blessings, good wishes, and a big wedding."
- Father: "Wow! Really!!
Then get married on Twitter, have fun on Tango, buy your kids on Amazon and pay through PayPal.
And if you get fed up with your husband... sell him on Ebay."
