HydroScat-6P
Six-Channel Backscattering sensor and fluorometer. Flag ship of the HydroScat family, the first commercial multi-spectral backscattering sensor and the first to measure both backscattering and fluorescence. The HydroScat-6 has a long record of superior performance and reliability.
The newly upgraded HydroScat-6P now includes an integrated deployment cage that provides compact but rugged protection and easy handling. The stainless steel rods protect the housing and act as handles; the instrument face is recessed to protect windows when face-down on deck, there are no metal protrusions and the lowering eye is built into the end cap. The HydroScat-6P also has a redesigned pressure case for improved maintainability. It seals without threads exposed to water, eliminating the possibility of corrosion and seizing.
