Real-Time Measurement of Settling Velocity In contrast with almost all other Sequoia instruments, the LISST-RTSSV is not a standalone instrument. It was designed and optimized for one application only: monitoring the effect of deep-sea mining’s...
Measuring the Angular Distribution of Light Scattering The LISST-VSF measures how particles scatter light at different angles, from almost 0° to 150°. This is known as the Volume Scattering Function (VSF). The VSF is fundamental to understanding ocean...
High-Resolution Imaging of Particles and Plankton The LISST-Holo2 uses digital holography to capture holograms of particles and plankton in water without disturbing the sample. Processing of the hologram (known as reconstruction) in the LISST-Holo2 software...
Measuring Particle Size Distribution in Natural Waters The LISST-200X measures the size distribution and concentration of suspended particles directly in water. Using laser diffraction, it measures how particles scatter light and inverts that scattering...
Sequoia Application Note SEQ-001-V1 Beam attenuation (c, [m-1]) is a critical inherent optical property (IOP) for oceanographers studying underwater visibility and suspended particles in the water column. Measuring beam attenuation in-situ requires transmissometers...
