The use of displacement transducers coupled with suitable recording equipment is described for high resolution (0.1 µm) automatic measurements of plant growth. Systems are described for measurements on intact seedlings or isolated sections and for measuring mechanical properties of cell walls. The equipment can be used simultaneously for several channels and is suitable for on-line computer calculation and plotting of results. Examples of typical results are given for the different applications.
