Strategies for imaging living plants in their natural, upright position or in a microfluidic device: a Inverted microscope mounted vertically on a metal plate, CC BY 4.0 [72]. b Periscope tube and a vertical sample stage [73] (Marianas Plant Scope with Spinning Disk, image courtesy of 3i Intelligent Imaging Innovations). d Scheme of the RootChip [70]: Tubes connected to inlet and outlet allow for exposing the root to solvents during imaging. d Image series of an Arabidopsis root hair tip over 9 minutes, which is grown in the RootChip system. Pectin Ca2+ egg box complexes are visualized by staining with propidium iodide (right). Corresponding bright-field images are also shown (left) (Image adapted from Schoenaers et al.
