Abstract

In this paper, an in-situ cytometer is reported for measuring particle size distribution, concentration and biomass of marine phytoplankton containing chlorophyll-a. The system has submersible probe with optical fibres to carry light to and from the probe for remote sensing of ocean phytoplankton. A unique feature of this probe is that there are no electronic components. All signal detection and processing are carried out above the water. The probe is designed to scan upto a depth of 50m and, apart from the probe, the complete system also comprises a diode-pumped YAG laser (the Uniphase μGreen) emitting at a c.w. wavelength of 532nm, fibre optical cable and a real-time signal processing system.
