Dear Colleagues,

We'll have an external speaker, Dr Ann Wheeler (Manager of the IGMM Advanced Imaging Resources, University of Edinburgh), visiting us on 6th July to give a talk "Advances in super-resolution microscopy at the IGMM".

The seminar will take place at HW111-112, 2-3pm, 6th July.

Dr Wheeler will introduce their advanced imaging facilities; welcome to attend the seminar to see if there's any opportunity for future collaborations.

Regards,

David

RESEARCH SEMINAR



12.00-13.00 h on Tuesday 7 June, 2016 in HW113-114

Alex Nimmo Smith, School of Marine Science & Engineering, Plymouth University, UK

'Seeing is believing: holographic imaging of marine suspended particles'





Particles suspended in the sea play a significant role in many of the biogeochemical processes of central importance to our changing world. They may be of biological or mineral origin, and hence occur in a myriad complex forms. In addition to their fundamental nature, key characteristics of suspended particles are their size (which may vary from submicron to millimeter scales) and effective density. For example, small particles tend to be better scatterers of light, while large particles tend to settle more quickly and so are important to mass transport. Added complexity arises from the flocculation and disaggregation of particles as they interact within the varying turbulence of the natural environment, leading to changes in the size distribution and settling characteristics of the particle population.



In situ measurements of particle parameters are often performed with laser scattering (LISST) instruments, but these assume the particles are (nearly) spherical and provide no information on their nature. Floc-cameras have also been utilised to image particles in situ, but usually suffer from limited resolution or a small depth-of-field, so restricting sample volume size.



Here we discuss the application of holography to the characterisation of suspended particles, and how these measurements enable clearer understanding of the particle populations and associated optical scattering characteristics in waters around the UK. A variety of digital in-line holographic systems have been developed and deployed that allow the in situ imaging of all particles O(micron to mm) within relatively large sample volumes O(ml). Digital reconstruction of the recorded holograms allows the automatic extraction of in-focus images of each particle, from which key characteristics (size, shape, nature) may then be derived.
