Popis:	With a stereoscope, as used for the inspection of aerial photographs, sequential photographs of roots obtained by the endoscope method from ‘minirhizotrons’ can yield much more information than hitherto. A series of photographs shows that most of the roots seen in a minirhizotron in grassland grew on the surface of the lexan tube, while there was a gap between the roots and the soil. Decay of the extensive root hair zones around the roots may make new root growth in the gap between rhizotron wall and soil invisible. Some consequences of these observations for the endoscope method are discussed.
