The Ocean Imaging Systems model 3731-D REMOTS (Remote Ecological Monitoring of The Seafloor) Digital Sediment Profile Imaging (SPI) camera provides in situ imaging of organism-sediment relationships on the seafloor.
Differing from conventional undersea photo equipment, the SPI obtains a vertical cross section of the sediment-water interface by imaging the sediment in profile via a water-filled prism. Its optical clarity is not affected by local water conditions since the optical path is through air and distilled water. High resolution images of an area as large as 320 cm2 of sediment profile are taken with each exposure.
