New equipment acquired – Phenotyping camera

The camera with a macro lens is a professional high-resolution digital imaging system used within the project for the phenotyping of grapevine. Its full-frame sensor enables the capture of detailed, high-resolution photographs, ensuring a faithful and precise record of the morphological features of the plant material. Combined with a macro lens that allows fine details to be captured at a 1:1 ratio, the system is particularly suitable for documenting the ampelographic and morphological characteristics of leaves, clusters, berries and other parts of the plant. The system is complemented by additional equipment that ensures consistent and standardised shooting conditions: a flash for even and controlled illumination, and a tripod for stability and repeatability of the images.

This equipment enables the collection of high-quality visual documentation necessary for the morphological characterisation and comparison of endangered Croatian grapevine cultivars and wild grapevine, thereby directly contributing to the achievement of the project’s objectives.
