美国CID公司是设计和制造农业和环境研究相关仪器设备的行业龙头企业。CID公司以设计生产坚固耐用、便携、适合野外植物生理生态测量的分析仪器设备及提供解决方案为荣耀的专业植物生理生态仪器公司。
2010年9月1日，美国国家生态监测网（NEON）指定CID公司为主要仪器供应商，指定CI-600为美国国家生态监测网的指定根系监测仪器，充分肯定了CID公司仪器在生态环境适用性，测量精度高等方面的产品质量。
CI-600根系生长监测系统操作简单、获取图像快捷；改进了原来仅用根管窥镜照相获取根系局部图像（大约1.8 cｍ×1.3 cｍ）的方法；CI-600每次扫描可获得21.59 cm×19.56 cm尺寸，内插9600 dpi分辨率的高清图片，连续8次扫描可获得170 cm×20 cm的大型根系剖面图，大大减轻了原来照相法的劳动强度且为细根的分级研究、拓扑结构研究、栽培、胁迫根系生长研究等提供了目前世界上最简便，最快捷获取数据图像的研究方法。
新型CI-601根系远距离生长长期监测系统增加主要新特性：
1、原位植物根系的动态生长监测；同一深度不同时间季节根系生长远距离监测研究
2、可获得光学最高1200 dpi和内插188 M像素的高分辨率的根系图像，完全可以用来做根系生态和根毛生长监测研究
3、主机含有无线网络装置802.11b/g, HSPSA, WiMAX, Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR
4、含有卫星定位装置GPS ，便于远距离定位
5、触摸屏操作，标记、计算根系数据，方便快捷
6、可带有太阳能供电
CI-601在CI-600原位监测基础上增加了利用无线网络，远距离监测功能！减少了研究者到野外研究操作工作量，使根系监测研究变为在室内操作！
20年来，CID产品被广泛应用于野外、实验室以及国际空间站等植物的生理学生态学研究，并不断为用户着想，勇于改进更新！使产品精度更高、更便于使用操作、更适合于生态环境使用。
