Shadowgraph: Telecentric Imaging System

Wassoc's Shadowgraph is a compact subsea imaging system utilizing telecentric optics to capture in situ silhouette images of zooplankton (or other small targets) as they flow through a defined volume. The defined imaging volume makes it easy to measure and quantify targets, while the far-red collimated backlight minimizes species avoidance. Integral UV lights and hard-coat anodized components mitigate biofouling and corrosion on long deployments.

The Shadowgraph is optimized for integration onto a subsea glider. However, due to its size, RS-232 communication protocol, and low power requirements, the Shadowgraph can be integrated onto virtually any subsea asset.
