CA 2471450

The invention provides a method and system for simultaneously imaging multiple views of a plant embryo. First, the method provides a camera for receiving a first view of a plant embryo (e.g., the top view). Second, the method provides a first reflecting surface for receiving and reflecting a second view of the plant embryo (e.g., the side view) toward the camera. Thus, the method permits simultaneously imaging both the first and second views of the plant embryo. In one embodiment, the method further provides a second reflecting surface for receiving and reflecting a third view (e.g., the end view) of the plant embryo toward the camera, so that the camera can simultaneously image the first, second, and third views of the plant embryo. The invention reduces the time required to obtain multiple views of an embryo, which can then be analyzed to classify the embryos according to their germination vigor.

L'invention décrit une méthode et un système d'imagerie simultanée de plusieurs vues d'un embryon de plante. En premier lieu, la méthode fournit un appareil photo permettant de recevoir la première vue d'un embryon de plante (p. ex. la vue du dessus). En second lieu, la méthode fournit une première surface de réflexion qui va recevoir et réfléchir une seconde vue de l'embryon de plante (p. ex. la vue latérale) en direction de l'appareil photo. Ainsi, la méthode permet d'imager de manière simultanée la première et la seconde vue de l'embryon de plante. Dans une même conception, la méthode offre également une seconde surface de réflexion qui permet de recevoir et de réfléchir une troisième vue (p. ex. la vue de dos) de l'embryon en direction de l'appareil photo, de sorte que l'appareil puisse imager de manière simultanée les première, seconde et troisième vues de l'embryon. L'invention réduit le temps requis pour obtenir des vues multiples d'un embryon, qui peut alors être analysé aux fins de classification des embryons en fonction de la vigueur de sa germination.
