  Neutron and X-ray images have a high resolution and a relatively large field of view. Both methods should be excellent tools to observe the full scale of water transport in plants. It would solve an interesting question of plants and water relation that is one of main issues of agricultural studies. Figure shows water distribution image of a cut carnation flower obtained by neutron tomogoraphy.
