Plankton image recorder through the sea of traction,photography on plankton using high speed flash and color camera, and the image data and the CTD marine environmental information recorded on the hard disk. At the same time, navigation position and time recorded in theanalysis by PC. Plankton image recorder recovery into the ship, the recorded image and marine environmental data to the analysis by computer, to extract, plankton positionintegration processing.

Plankton image recorder with wing pieces, maximum traction speed 6 knots. Acting on the cable tension of 6day, 4 day 140kg 200kg.

The instrument with two software: AutoDesk and post processing software. AutoDesk software in VPR compressed image after thawing, automatic extraction of user set the image of interest (ROI) storage. Post processing position information recording software in combination with observation time, on the basis of CTD information, automatic classification, count the individualtreatment on plankton.

The device is equipped with towed body V-Fin, can record the individual images in the moving process, and can carry a variety of marine sensor parameters (such as CTD,chlorophyll meter, turbidity meter), recording the parameter information of many kinds of environmental factors in order to fully reflect the plankton environment.

The imaging system includes: a camera, flash, video recording and control unit, sealing device is installed in thecabin, the pressure box battery etc..

Camera: color camera, millions of pixels (1024X1024)above, the compression of image frame rate up to 15f/s(each 200Kb size).

Optical lens: according to the selection of the range of observation and object in 7x7mm, 14x14mm, 24x24mm,42x42mm clear imaging.

Source: size about 20cm in diameter, the flash of not less than 15 times per second.

Power supply: the rechargeable battery can work continuously for 3 hours or more.

Storage: a single image according to 200Kb calculation,can continuously record up to 2.5 hours of data. Support USB interface storage device for reading data.

The main device class: the maximum pressure 1000m.

Weight (not including the towed body): < 40kg, in the air.
