The Imaging FlowCytobot (IFCB) uses a combination of flow cytometric and video technology to capture high resolution (up to 1 μm) images and optical data of suspended particles in-flow, from the aquatic environment. IFCB images can be used to classify organisms to the genus or species level with accuracy comparable to that of human experts, which makes the IFCB well suited to phytoplankton monitoring programs.

• Maximum depth: 40m.
• Sample rate: 15mL/hr. Generates up to 30,000 high resolution images per hour (target population dependent). Continuous sampling for up to 6 months.
• Options: Automated or interactive image collection schedule. Anti-fouling and periodic standard analysis monitors sampler performance.
