Larger Than Life

Larger Than Life

August 2, 2018

The copepod pictured on this laptop screen is only a few millimeters long, but it appears much larger through the “eyes” of a new holographic camera system. WHOI biologist Peter Wiebe (right) and engineering assistant Troy Petitt recently tested the camera in preparation for its first at-sea deployment this month aboard the NOAA research ship Henry B. Bigelow in the North Atlantic Ocean. The holographic camera, based on technology developed by WHOI scientist emeritus Cabell Davis, will be one of several optical systems carried by the new towed vehicle Deep-See, which will combine cameras and sonars to find and image life deep in the ocean twilight zone.
