Abstract
This paper describes a novel multispectral imaging microscope and its applications in the study of pollen grains in rice. The Imaging instruments can simultaneously record both spectral and spatial information of a sample, which is helpful to study the chemical states and physical properties of the sample by taking advantage of spatial image processing and spectroscopic analysis techniques. A LCTF (liquid crystal tunable filter) device is used for fast wavelength selection in the range of 400nm to 720nm and a cooled two-dimensional monochrome CCD for image detection. In this paper, the image acquisition process, spatial and spectral calibration and spectral imaging analysis methods are detailed. And also a novel method using this multispectral imaging microscope to observe rice pollen grains is reported here. The multispectral images were systematically processed and analyzed by the software. The results illustrated that the transmittance analysis of multispectral pollen images can accurately identify the pollen abortion stage of male-sterile rice, and can easily distinguish a variety of male sterile cytoplasm. Compared with cytological and histochemical methods reported previously, the method reported here has demonstrated to be more efficient and reliable in the study of chemical states and physical properties in plant cells.
