LISST-OST optical sediment trap
Sequoia
Product overview
Track changes in diffuse optical transmission and attenuation with LISST-OST. Its off-axis optical arrangement reduces disturbance to settling particles. Researchers can use these measurements in particle-flux studies, with interpretation and relationships to particulate organic carbon established for their own deployment.

Key features
- Off-axis optical arrangement
- Modulated light source rejects ambient light
- Real-time serial output
- Optional LISST-Logger integration
