Abstract: A device for holding and testing plant material includes a sample container including a sample fixation member for affixing thereto a plant sample such that the plant sample is held vertically in the sample container, a test and calibration reference, a spectrometer arranged to perform spectrometric analysis of the plant sample with respect to spectrometric analysis of the test and calibration reference, and a multiple-degree-of-freedom positioning device configured to cause relative movement between the sample container and the spectrometer.

Abstract: System and methods may qualify plant material. A system for qualifying plant material may include an inspection zone, a support stage configured to support the plant material in the inspection zone, at least one camera configured to acquire at least one image of the plant material in the inspection zone, at least one processor configured to receive and analyze the camera image to identify a region of interest containing specific plant structures possessing active component, and at least one spectrometer configured to acquire a spectrometric measurement of the plant material in the inspection zone. The at least one processor may be further configured to facilitate a spectrometric measurement of the specific plant structures identified in the camera image, and to enable output of an indicator of a quality measure of the plant material based on the spectrometric measurement of the specific plant structures identified in the camera image.
