In 2019 Sequoia published a short note on our website regarding the feasibility of measuring plastic particles in situ. Two main conclusions were drawn: If one considers the number concentration of plastic particles (α), and the sampling volume (SV)...
Bubbles in water are studied intensively. For modeling and measurement purposes it is sometimes assumed that bubbles are spherical, but this is only true up to a certain size: When the hydrostatic pressure difference from top to bottom of the bubble is...
…Wherein we’ll learn about the LISST-VSF and some arriving and departing employees. (Part X can be found here: https://www.sequoiasci.com/article/the-history-of-sequoia-part-x/ ) The LISST-VSF In 2011, Sequoia finished an SBIR (Small Business Innovation...
O-rings are so ubiquitous today – at least for all of us building underwater instrumentation for the underwater technology industry – that we generally think of them as something that has always been around. But that is not the case. The other night...
In 2008, Sequoia Scientific’s Dr. Ole Mikkelsen co-authored and published a paper: The Influence of Schlieren on In-situ Optical Measurements Used for Particle Characterization. This paper was based on data collected during his postdoctoral work...
