• Automatic discrimination of the species composition of phytoplankton population at site • Detection of HAB • Measures cyanobacteria bloom

Overview

Whilst measuring Chlorophyll-a serves as an index of the biomass of a phytoplankton population, it does not identify the species composition. The Multi-Exciter emits the modulated lights of different wavelengths on the phytoplankton to excite. When the intensity of excited red fluorescence is detected, their fluorescence spectra are measured consecutively. The spectrum characteristic depends on the colour composition and the information leads to an assumption of species composition of the plankton population.
