The world’s first submersible
fluorescence microscope provides
decision makers essential data to
take corrective actions before a
harmful outbreak occurs.

Overview
The FluoroSea allows you to quickly and easily observe algae.
Applications
Harmful Algae Blooms
Aquaculture
Shellfisheries
Municipal water quality
Recreational waterways
General public health
Benefits
Go beyond chlorophyll
The combination of individual cell
fluorescence signals and image based
cell sizes provides
indices of abundance
from discrete taxonomic groups
Real-time
Real-time in-situ observation algae
Portable
Lightweight, easy to deploy, rugged
Low maintenance
The sample delivery system contains copper to reduce bio-fouling, and cleans the windows as a it moves into and out of the sample space
Save Time
With near real-time data, that requires no sample preparation, the FluoroSea acts as a first line of defense in gathering information without any critical time lags
Customizable for taxonomic groups across the globe
Users can enter characteristic fluorescence ratios and
sizes for taxonomic groups of different interest for automated
classification with Jellyfish software.
