New Low-Light Underwater Camera
Kongsberg Maritime offers its new generation low-light underwater camera, the OE13 124 BIT, unveiled November 2008. Subsequently Kongsberg has introduced a EIA RS170 (525 line 60Hz) version in addition to the original CCIR (625 line, 50Hz) version. The OE13 124 BIT deliv-
The Minos Logger
Applied Microsystems (AML) released of a new instrument Model, the Minos. The Minos SVP and Minos CTD are designed for vertical profiling from small launches or boats. Key features include: · Small Size: Roughly ˝ the size of Applied Microsystems Plus v2; · Ease-of-Use: An LED indicator light provides pre-deployment feedback on battery and logging status; · Flexibility: With the recent release of SV·Xchange and the upcoming release of P·Xchange - field swappable sound velocity and pressure sensors - the Minos SVP is the only profiler on the market that doesn't need to return to the factory for calibration purposes.

OSIL Reports Strong Data Buoy Sales
Optical Brighteners Module for Fluorometer
Optical Brighteners (OBAs) or Fluorescent Whitening Agents (FWAs) are added to products such as laundry soaps, detergents, and cleaning agents. Laundry wastewater is the largest contributor of brighteners to wastewater systems. The presence of brighteners in water systems to which wastewater is being discharged can mean failing septic systems, sewage leaks, or complete lack of water treatment. Therefore, detection of Optical Brighteners in aquatic systems can help water municipalities or researchers correct system failures and
OSIL (Ocean Scientific International Limited), are continuing to increase the capabilities of its Data Buoys for real-time high data rate applications.
