The studio-quality camera, which captures images in ultrahigh definition 4K video, will help researchers better document rare jellies, neon corals and hydrothermal vents.
MOSS LANDING – A new state of the art underwater camera, developed by Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute scientists, will paint a brighter, more detailed picture of deep sea life.
In collaboration with DeepSea Power & Light, Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute scientists developed the technology, which will be used to capture images of rare jellies, neon corals and hydrothermal vents. The camera’s technology is similar to that of which is used in the Olympics, said MBARI Electrical Engineer Paul Roberts, which track skiers whizzing down mountaintops at 90 mph and ice skaters whirling and hurling through the air.
MBARI Electrical Engineer Paul Roberts prepares the alignment test setup during final assembly and calibration of the optical components in the MxD SeaCam 4K camera at MBARI’s facilities in Moss Landing, California. . Using the MxD SeaCam, researchers have already documented parasitic organisms not seen in the past, Lundsten said.
