An underwater microscope known as the Imaging FlowCytobot has given scientists the ability to monitor the flow of microscopic plant and animal life in the ocean. The Imaging FlowCytobot works by photographing plankton throughout the day and relaying specific information back to researchers on shore through a fiber optic cable.
RM Young’s Ultrasonic Anemometer is ideal for general meteorological applications, providing accurate and reliable wind measurement. The anemometer is a 2-axis sensor with no moving parts. Its durable, corrosion-resistant construction is fully wind-tunnel tested and calibrated to provide accurate wind measurement over a wide operating range at wind speeds of 0-70 m/s (0 to 156 mph).
The Pro Line Non-Insulated Rubber Chest Waders are designed for waterproof and comfortable wear at a cost efficient price. Made of vulcanized rubber, the Pro Line waders are reliable for long-term use. Each pair features steel shanks for stability and support, as well as heavy-duty, double thick cleated boots for extra traction. The knee features a toe cap for additional protection in the field.
Researchers have recently descended to Pavilion Lake in British Columbia to study the origin of freshwater microbialites, which are carbonate structures that are formed in water with the assistance of microorganisms. The project, known as the Pavilion Lake Research Project, aims to study these structures due to their similarities to microbialites that—fossil records show—existed in Earth’s early development.
