Turner Designs SCUFA Submersible Fluorometer

The Turner Designs SCUFA Submersible Fluorometer is a specialised device that can be put into the water for measuring and studying fluorescence. Fluorescence is when some substances emit light when other light sources stimulate them. It is as if you light a neon sign, and it begins to glow brightly.

To measure the amount of fluorescence in water, a Turner Designs SCUFA Submersible Fluorometer is expected to be placed at depths such as lakes or oceans. It works by using a particular type of light to measure the light which is absorbed into the water from these substances. This allows researchers to see the presence and concentration of some importance in water, for example, algae or pollutants. Imagine that, for example, there’s a lake, and scientists need to know whether the water contains toxic algae. They’re capable of placing the Turner Designs SCUFA Submersible Fluorometer in water and measuring its fluorescence. If the fluorescence is high, it indicates that harmful algae may be present, which may impact the lake’s ecosystem.

The Turner Designs SCUFA Submersible Fluorometer is a valuable instrument, as it allows scientists to examine water quality and monitor the changing marine environment. It is like having an underwater detective that can provide us with vital information about what’s happening in the water. Using such a device allows our scientists to gain greater insight and protection of our precious water resources.
