Since blue and green light will induce phototropism and red light is absorbed by phytochrome, no wavelength of visible radiation should be considered safe for any study of tropisms in etiolated seedlings. For this reason, we have developed an infra-red imaging system with a video camera with which we can monitor seedlings using radiation at wavelengths longer than 800 nm. The image of the seedlings can be observed in real time, recorded on a VCR and subsequently analyzed using the Java image analysis system. The time courses for curvature of seedlings differ in shape, amplitude, and lag time. This variability accounts for much of the noise in the measurement of curvature for a population of seedlings.
