Digital Holography and the behaviour of Plankton
20 December 2022
Plankton play a vital part in the ecology of our planet - they lie at the bottom of the worlds’ food chain and are sensitive indicators of the health of our oceans. Research is therefore vital to determine their distribution, population concentrations and environmental impact. Read our latest blog by Professor John Watson and Dr Thangavel Thevar, from the University of Aberdeen, on the importance of plankton and their novel method of imaging, identifying, and counting species through holography.
