Dr. Cabell Davis readies his Video Plankton Recorder (VPR)

Fig. 1. Dr. Cabell Davis readies his video plankton recorder (VPR) for its first cast in the Celebes Sea. The VPR takes color images of plankton and, at the same time, measures water depth, temperature, salinity, chlorophyll fluorescence, and turbidity. The strobe flashes 30 times per second in synchrony with the video camera’s frame rate. Image courtesy of 2007: Exploring the Inner Space of the Celebes Sea.
