| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study is aims to develop a high-resolution imaging method which visualizes radiocesium movements and distribution from roots to above-ground part of a plant. In this study, a Cherenkov light imaging system for plant study was developed. An imaging experiment was performed with an intact soybean plant which absorbed Cs-137 solution using the system. The result shows that Cherenkov light imaging is promising for visualization of the dynamics of radiocesium in a plant.
