Imaging FlowCytobot
In-situ automated submersible imaging flow cytometer producing up to 30,000 images per hour of particles such as diatoms and dinoflagellates.
Description
The Imaging FlowCytobot (IFCB) combines flow cytometric and video technology to capture high resolution images of suspended particles in the <10 to 150 μm range. Laser-induced fluorescence and light scattering trigger image acquisition; data is transmitted to shore in real time and can be classified automatically to genus or species level. It samples 15ml of sea water per hour.
Key features
- Max depth: 40 m
- Image rate: 30,000 images per hour (depending on target)
- Resolution: ~2.7 pixels/micron
- Power: 18-36 VDC external; 35 W (continuous sampling)
Applications
- Plankton and harmful algal bloom monitoring
- Coastal ocean observing with real-time data to shore
