On a recent research cruise to the Artic, WHOI research assistant Emily Peacock, a member of Sam Laney's lab, operated an Imaging FlowCytobot, an instrument that images and identifies individual phytoplankton cells in ocean water. Sam Laney adapted the instrument, first developed by WHOI biologists Heidi Sosik and Rob Olson, for use at sea and to investigate phytoplankton populations in polar waters.
