The Vapro osmometer is an advanced electronic adaptation of the hygrometric method of vapor pressure determination. The sensitive thermocouple and sophisticated electronics provide the means to measure the dew point temperature depression of a specimen with resolution to 0.00031 °C.  Vapor pressure and freezing point are among the colligative properties of a solution.

Root development and function are vitally important for plant adaptation to the environment. The understanding of root biology is critically necessary to facilitate the improvement of crop performance, especially in the face of environmental constraints.    The CI-600 is the only instrument available that enables researchers to capture non-destructive, high resolution, digital images to observe the development and function of a plant’s root system.
