Autonomous monitoring of algal biomass: Success stories and lessons learned from long-term field deployment
Christopher Katinas, Marina Holder, Thomas A. Reichardt, John McGowen Jerilyn A. Timlin Abstract Autonomous, high-frequency monitoring of outdoor algal ponds is needed to quantify biomass productivity and detect culture decline in environments prone to contamination,...Technical Application Note – SMA-Lock
Reducing Fiber Coupling Variability with SMA-Lock Upgrade on StellarNet Miniature Spectrometers Miniature fiber optic spectrometers are widely used in applications where repeatable optical alignment is essential. Standard SMA-905 fiber connectors, however, can exhibit...Why Turtle Safe Lighting Matters for Sea Turtle Survival + An Interview with FWC Experts
Why Turtle Safe Lighting Matters for Sea Turtle Survival + An Interview with FWC Experts Artificial lighting along coastlines is a well-documented threat to sea turtle populations. Species such as the loggerhead sea turtle and green sea turtle rely on natural light...Find a Rainbow Day Spectroscopy
The Science Behind Rainbows Rainbows form when sunlight interacts with water droplets in the atmosphere. As light enters a droplet, it refracts (bends) due to the change in medium from air to water, which slows down the light waves. Once inside the droplet, some of...2025 Winter Spectroscopy Special – Analyzing Holiday LEDs, Lasers & Lighting
