HydroScat-6P Backscattering Sensor - Fluorometer

HydroScat-6P

Successor to the original HS-6,

NOTE: The HydroScat-6P is now available from Hobi Instrument Services

6-Channel Backscattering sensor and fluorometer

Flag ship of the HydroScat Family, the first commercial multi-spectral backcattering sensor and the first to measure both backscattering and fluorescence, the HydroScat-6 has a long record of superior performance and reliability. Now upgraded to the HydroScat-6P (Plus).

Measurements

Backscattering (ß[140°] and b_b) at six wavelengths
- Standard bb wavelengths: 420, 442, 470, 510, 590, and 700 nm
- Other wavelengths available
Fluorescence at two wavelengths
- Standard: 700 nm excited by 442 nm (chlorophyll), 510 nm excited by 420 nm
Depth (330 m standard, 500 m optional)
