美国Phenotype Screening公司（PSC） 
PSC公司成立于2004年，2年后其首款产品植物根系X-光扫描成像分析系统RootViz FS面世，并获得2006年度美国R&D 100大奖。RootViz FS是全球第一款可对根系进行X-光扫描成像分析的系统，具有原位、非破坏性、可控性、效率高等优点，是继根视系统后植物根系研究领域最激动人心的发明。美国R&D 100大奖被称为“发明界的奥斯卡奖”，RootViz FS刚一面世即获此大奖，足见其影响力之大。

Phenotype Screening Corporation is your one-stop partner for plant root system research. Under funding from the US Department of Energy’s Inventions and Innovations Program, we have developed a novel, high-throughput, high resolution and non-destructive system to image and characterize plant roots.

This is the most exciting new development in plant root research since the invention of the rhizotron. Unlike a rhizotron, our system allows for full surface to root tip visualization of all roots. Since our system is non-destructive the same plant can be imaged at different times in its developmental growth cycle. Additionally the same plant can be monitored for plant root system response to stressors.

Suddenly, studying the hidden half has been made easy. Contact us! The playing field has been leveled; the shackles of time consuming and limited-information root measurement methods are gone.

How far can you go when limited only by your imagination and not your instrumentation?
