AQUATIC IMAGER CAMERA SYSTEM

The U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is seeking an Aquatic Imager camera system compatible with field and laboratory research. The system should be capable of photographing plankton as small as 2 mm, have front and back light capabilities, offer ultra-high definition resolution, and be capable of being powered by 12V battery or 110 V power supply. The system should also be water resistant for use on research vessels. The USGS plans to use the camera system to study grass carp spawning in tributaries to the Great Lakes. • The camera system must meet specific requirements, including being able to photograph plankton as small as 2 mm. • The system must have front and back light capabilities and offer ultra-high definition resolution. • The system must be capable of being powered by 12V battery or 110 V power supply. • The system must be water resistant for use on research vessels. • The system must be compatible with field and laboratory research. • The USGS plans to use the camera system to study grass carp spawning in tributaries to the Great Lakes.
