Batelle (Columbus, Ohio) and Fluid Imaging Technologies (Yarmouth, Maine) announced in February the completion of a successful demonstration of the Submersible FlowCAM, deployed from a dock at Batelle's materials research facility in Ponce Inlet, Florida. The test showed that the device's biofouling control technology allows it to collect images of plankton and abundance data for more than five weeks without operator intervention.The two companies partnered to design and build the Submersible FlowCAM to identify and measure an array of microscopic plankton and other organisms and particles in salt-and freshwater.
