LISST-Holo2: Holographic Camera for Flocs and Plankton

The LISST-Holo2 stores holograms for study of flocs, plankton, and other particles in water. It is an advanced successor to the original LISST-Holo. This new version is the world’s fastest, capturing holograms at 20Hz, [vs.0.2Hz for the original LISST-Holo]. The same original housing now includes an 8-hr battery and 237GB of data memory.

The LISST-Holo2 stores holograms for study of flocs, plankton, and other particles in water. It is an advanced successor to the original LISST-Holo.

This new version is the world’s fastest, capturing holograms at 20Hz, [vs.0.2Hz for the original LISST-Holo]. The same original housing now includes an 8-hr battery and 237GB of data memory. Processing speed per unit water volume imaged is faster than the competition. A unique new feature ranks thousands of holograms based on richness of imagery – a Sequoia innovation for fast overview of a collection of holograms.

Features

  • Submersible in-line holography
  • New: Up to 20Hz continuous hologram capture
  • New: Internal 237 GB data storage
  • New: Internal rechargeable battery, (or external power for lab use)
  • New: Faster processing, faster than the competition per unit volume imaged.
  • New: An algorithm that ranks holograms by the richness of imagery in them
  • Large volume viewed each image
  • Programmable data collection
  • Automated Batch or Detail hologram processing

The LISST-Holo2 advances the technology that was built into the original LISST-Holo. It can capture holograms 100X faster which makes it the fastest. A 237 GB internal memory stores upto 118,000 holograms. The high speed hologram capture permits study of phenomena such as thin layers. Users often wonder how to make a quick assessment of these 10’s of thousands of holograms. Sequoia has pioneered a ranking algorithm. You can now see your holograms ranked by the richness of imagery in them.

Unlike other submersible holography systems, we have now incorporated a powerful rechargeable NiMH battery within the same original housing. This instrument is self-contained, ready to be programmed and used.

The LISST-Holo2 views the largest volume per image of competing systems. Processing speed per unit volume imaged is faster than the competing system.

Data processing software is included. Holo-Batch processes a selected group of holograms, whereas Holo-Detail permits detailed manual study of individual holograms. Processed holograms produce crisp in-focus images on a plane. Computed size distribution of particles is also output.

The large open path of the LISST-Holo2 allows particles to freely pass through the sample volume with minimal disruption.
