We are generating digital time-lapse animations using an automated image capture system, consisting of a 2 dimensional robotics platform, a digital camera, and a Leica MZFLIII dissecting microscope, all computer-controlled, in a laminar air flow hood.

Developing soybean somatic embryos, tracked over 21 days,
with image collection every 4 hours.

Proliferating GFP-expressing embryogenic soybean D20 tissue, tracked over 2 weeks,
with image collection every 8 hours.
Variability in GFP expression is the norm in this tissue, with localized high- and low-expressing areas.

Transient expression of GFP in lima bean cotyledons, tracked over 4 days,
with image collection every 1 hour.
Each movement of the white tick indicates one hour and each red tick is one day.
Each panel shows transient expression with a different promoter, driving gfp.

GFP expression in stably-transformed D20 soybean tissues.
The introduced construct contained gfp under regulatory control of the 35S promoter.
This is a Windows Media File movie and plays using Windows Media Player
Note GFP expression increasing in the two embryogenic clusters in the center of the clump,
about 1/3 to 1/2 way through the animation.
