Abstract
A deeper understanding of dynamic biological systems requires comprehensive spatial and temporal monitoring of the physical structure and local chemical environment that drives organization and function. Conventional chemical imaging can be destructive, preventing any tracking of biological systems over the course of their development. Here, we describe efforts to develop a platform for nondestructive chemical imaging of developing plant roots through space and time in environments that mimic the physical architecture of natural soil.
