About This Workshop
This workshop will introduce flow-through imaging microscopy utilizing the FlowCam®, a device used for phytoplankton/zooplankton research and HAB monitoring. Participants will be encouraged to bring (or mail) a sample to analyze on the FlowCam in real time. Three samples will be selected to illustrate the implications of variables such as settings, sampling methodology, and location on FlowCam imagery and data. Real-world samples provide opportunity for frank discussion of the technology's benefits and limitations related to estuarine environments. Throughout the workshop, we will draw comparisons to traditional microscopy and introduce plankton identification assisted by semi-automated techniques.
