Abstract: A rotary imaging system, a plant imager, an animal imager, and an animal and plant imager, relating to the technical field of living sample imaging. The plant imager, the animal imager, and the animal and plant imager all comprise a rotary imaging system. The rotary imaging system comprises the sample table unit is used for carrying a sample; the camera unit is used for imaging the sample; the rotation unit comprises an accommodating cavity accommodating the sample table unit, and the rotation unit is used for driving the camera unit to rotate with respect to the sample table unit and controlling the camera unit to be stationary with respect to the sample table unit. By means of rotary imaging system, powerful data support is provided for the subsequent image reconstruction and image fusion, and the number of cameras required for imaging different parts of a sample is also reduced.
