Spectroscopy measures the interactions of electrons, protons, and ions in a material, based on collision energy. It is a popularly used non-destructive analytical tool in plant science and agriculture research, which helps determine the presence of microbial infection, pests, toxins, chemical composition, and adulterants in agricultural produce.
Scientists have designed an optical tool that offers clear three-dimensional images of the rhizosphere. This innovative tool will help scientists to study plant-microbe interactions and biomolecular mechanisms.
