RamaCam is a 3000m depth rated system capable of combined imaging and chemical to differentiate between particles and monitor their distribution in the ocean.
This is a collaborative project between the University of Southampton, JAMSTEC, Institute of Industrial Science at the University of Tokyo and the University of Aberdeen. This project is funded by NERC and the JST under the SICORP program NE/R01227X/1, part of the Marine sensor proof of concept 2018 to 2021.
In the field
Below are some pictures of the RamaCam lightweight setup and examples of holographic imaging and Raman spectroscopy using a single light beam.
