美國CID公司是設計和制造農業和環境研究相關儀器設備的行業龍頭企業。CID公司以設計生產堅固耐用、便攜、適合野外植物生理生態測量的分析儀器設備及提供解決方案為榮耀的專業植物生理生態儀器公司。
2010年9月1日，美國國家生態監測網（NEON）指定CID公司為主要儀器供應商，指定CI-600為美國國家生態監測網的指定根系監測儀器，充分肯定了CID公司儀器在生態環境適用性，測量精度高等方面的產品質量。
CI-600根系生長監測系統操作簡單、獲取圖像快捷；改進了原來僅用根管窺鏡照相獲取根系局部圖像（大約1.8 cｍ×1.3 cｍ）的方法；CI-600每次掃描可獲得21.59 cm×19.56 cm尺寸，內插9600 dpi分辨率的高清圖片，連續8次掃描可獲得170 cm×20 cm的大型根系剖面圖，大大減輕了原來照相法的勞動強度且為細根的分級研究、拓撲結構研究、栽培、脅迫根系生長研究等提供了目前世界上最簡便，最快捷獲取數據圖像的研究方法。
新型CI-601根系遠距離生長長期監測系統增加主要新特性：
1、原位植物根系的動態生長監測；同一深度不同時間季節根系生長遠距離監測研究
2、可獲得光學最高1200 dpi和內插188 M像素的高分辨率的根系圖像，完全可以用來做根系生態和根毛生長監測研究
3、主機含有無線網絡裝置802.11b/g, HSPSA, WiMAX, Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR
4、含有衛星定位裝置GPS ，便于遠距離定位
5、觸摸屏操作，標記、計算根系數據，方便快捷
6、可帶有太陽能供電
CI-601在CI-600原位監測基礎上增加了利用無線網絡，遠距離監測功能！減少了研究者到野外研究操作工作量，使根系監測研究變為在室內操作！
20年來，CID產品被廣泛應用于野外、實驗室以及國際空間站等植物的生理學生態學研究，并不斷為用戶著想，勇于改進更新！使產品精度更高、更便于使用操作、更適合于生態環境使用。
