Feature Story: Imaging tool to change scope of plant research in Saskatchewan

Abstract

The Department of Physics in collaboration with the Sylvia Fedoruk Canadian Centre for Nuclear Innovation is leading a major project with the potential to revolutionize plant research. The PhytoPET, a real-time imaging detector used to study plants under different conditions, is now on campus. This project, the first of its kind in Canada, has been made possible thanks to a $1.45 million contribution from the Fedoruk Centre, which in turn is funded by Innovation Saskatchewan.
