Algal Bloom Early Detection System

Patented system that detects harmful algal bloom cells early by combining non-contact Raman “fingerprints” with light field and darkfield microscopy for faster, more confident identification.

CPICS Submersible Microscope

CPICS is a submersible microscope that captures sharp, high-resolution images of plankton and suspended particles directly in the water. It uses darkfield lighting so the camera mainly sees light scattered by the organism or particle, which makes fine features stand out. The imaging space is open and flow-through, so fragile targets can pass through naturally and stay intact. The system can also sort and label images automatically using image-quality checks, in-focus detection, and trained categories.
