The Submersible Microscope allows you to quickly and easily observe micro-organisms and particles up to a depth of 5 kilometres (in custom models).
Pulsed Laser
User control of laser pulse, with duration to 500 nanoseconds, holograms now capture rapid (4 m/s) movements, and has been tested at tow speeds of 8 knots
Real-time
Real-time in-situ observation of particles and micro-organisms in all aquatic environments
Portable
Lightweight, easy to deploy, rugged
High Flow Capabilities
Can be towed at 8 knots (4 m/s), stationed in rivers
Low maintenance
Easy to clean with no pump or tubes, making biofouling less of an issue
Fast Tracking
Up to 22 images per second to capture tracking dynamics of fast moving objects
Save Time
Real-time hologram reconstruction with our patented algorithm available in all our software
