Reminder: Registration Deadline APPN Workshop on Multispectral 3D Plant Imaging powered by PHENOSPEX
by Jez,Jakub Sept. 29, 2017

Sept. 29, 2017

Dear colleagues, the deadline for the registration to the APPN Multispectral 3D Plant Imaging workshop is approaching! Registration is open till 1st Oct. 2017 on http://www.appn.at/registration/ For details please refer to the mail below and the attachments. Best regards, Jakub Jez -- Dear colleagues, It is a great pleasure to invite you to the APPN<http://www.appn.at/> Workshop on Multispectral 3D Plant Imaging which will take place October 12th & 13th 2017 at the Vienna Biocenter. For the workshop, PHENOSPEX will visit the VBC with their new PlantEye F500 device and perform multispectral 3D scans of your samples. Your plants will be grown at the VBCF PlantS Facility and scanned one day before the workshop. Therefore, we need to receive your seeds in advance (deadline_1). Hands-on data analysis will be performed during the workshop - follow-up discussion of derived results will be discussed on the second day in individual meetings. “PlantEye F500 is a 3D laser scanner combined with multispectral information. It generates 3D point clouds of plants in high resolution and combines it on the fly with a 4-channel multispectral camera in the range of 400-900nm. This unique sensor fusion concept delivers spectral information for each data point and automatically computes a diverse set of validated morphological plant parameters.” Key dates: Workshop: 12th Oct. 20017 Discussion of results: 13th Oct. 2017 Registration: www.appn.at/registration<http://www.appn.at/registration> Deadline_1: 1st Sept. 2017 (if you want your samples to be scanned) Deadline_2: 1st Oct. 2017 (general registration deadline) Please note that there is a limited number of participants – the first come first serve principle applies.

Country odor PlantS Facility
by Jez,Jakub July 8, 2017

July 8, 2017

Dear colleagues, You might already have noticed the lovely country odor in the PlantS Facility (so far GMI location only). It originates from the new soil batch. We are in contact with the supplier; however, we are not sure if all bags are affected. If in doubt, please feel free to open a new bag. Due to the strongly fluctuating quality of the ED63 substrate, we will test four different Klasmann Substrates during summer. Details will follow in time. In case of any questions do not hesitate to contact us. Best, Jakub Sent from an ipad - please excuse typos.
