Overview
The Autonomous Unit allows the user to power the microscope and store image data in deployments where direct connection to the computer is not available
Benefits
Autonomous Recordings
Allows for the autonomous recording of holograms when connected to the Submersible microscope. Contains battery and 250 GiB SSD (can be expanded in custom configurations) to support hours of data storage
Autonomous module can be controlled via fiberoptic connection, or pre-programmed to perform the recordings at specific times and intervals
Connect Remotely
Contains gigabit single mode fiberoptic connection that allow you to control microscope remotely from miles away, download holograms or previews to the host computer
Deployment Versatility
Can be deployed together with Submersible Microscope
Can be placed on a vertical profiler
Can be deployed on an AUV
Go Deeper
Deployment depth down to 2000 meters
Depth and time stamped data
With a Pressure sensor as the newest feature, all data (holograms) filenames contain both the time set on the Autonomous, as well as the pressure in dbar, giving the user quick and easy access to ancillary data.
