PlanktoScope
The PlanktoScope is a modular, open-source hardware and software platform that allows for high-throughput quantitative imaging of plankton samples in aquatic biology and ecology.
Plankton Microscopy Types & Characteristics EpiFluorescence
Microplankton include phytoplankton and zooplankton that measure between 20 and 200 micrometers. This includes a variety of ciliates (protistan). Requirements. Procedure. For this technique, the ciliates in seawater sample were preserved using acid Lugol's fixative.
Microscope World Blog: Phytoplankton under the Microscope
You will need the following items to view plankton with the microscope: Plankton - visit a local pond, stream or the ocean. Gather some water, preferably with larger particles in it, look for pieces of seaweed, kelp or plants.
plankton sample and investigate different planktonic organisms under a microscope, comparing their collected sample with preserved marine samples. Objectives: Students will be able to: • Classify the various components of plankton • Collect a plankton sample • Identify specific organisms within a plankton sample

2019年1月1日 · To rapidly identify and count the zooplankton in the world's oceans, a submersible microscope called a video plankton recorder, together with an image processing system, has been developed.
The secret lives of plankton | Stanford Report
These microscopic organisms, known collectively as plankton, are the foundation of a global food chain, producers of about half the oxygen we breathe, and climate change superheroes capable of sequestering massive amounts of atmospheric carbon for thousands of years.
How to Collect and Identify Plankton | Under the Scope
They are usually measured in microns, which is 1/1000 of a millimeter. The smaller the mesh size, the smaller the animals you’ll collect, and vice versa. Zooplankton nets range anywhere from 150 microns to 1000 microns, depending on what the researcher hopes to collect.

PlanktoScope V.2.6 is a flow-through microscope designed by FairScope for high-precision imaging of suspended particles, it excels in capturing details of plankton up to 300 µm, enabling comprehensive planktonic studies.
Plankton are the mostly microscopic plants and animals that drift in the currents. Plant plankton is called “phytoplankton,” while animal plankton is called “zooplankton.” Plankton form the basis of life in the sea. Plankton samples may be obtained in several different ways.
