The University of Connecticut Rankin Seawater Lab in the Department of Marine Sciences (DMS) has launched their Imaging FlowCytobot (IFCB) Dashboard, bringing high-resolution imaging of marine microorganisms to a growing collection of public IFCB dashboards.
Aptly called “IFCB-TV”, the live-feed allows viewers to explore the thousands of microscopic plankton images captured hourly by the IFCB. Next steps for the UConn team include working on AI-powered i.d. of different phytoplankton species for faster and more accurate classification, expanding their IFCB monitoring station network, and collaborating with other institutions.

The Imaging FlowCytobot (IFCB) is an in-situ automated submersible imaging flow cytometer that generates images of particles in-flow taken from the aquatic environment. See more IFCB dashboards.
