Hi Garrett, Our lab didnt work on plants, but we've use time-lapse technology on capturing behaviors of slow-moving invertebrates using a Brinno Camera. We've even analyzed the videos using movement software.
Brinnos have nice resolution, and it's battery life is decent.; we've even put it in an underwater housing for capturing video underwater but it works well without a housing in the wind and rain on land. I think it's well-priced for what it does. *http://www.brinno.com/ <http://www.brinno.com/>* Best, Helen On Tue, Dec 22, 2015 at 11:14 AM, Garrett, Patrick <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear colleagues, > > > > I am interested in doing some small scale time-lapse photography of > inflorescence development in a greenhouse this summer.
