Liquid Lens Offers a Clear View

Sep-23-19 An innovative lens system clears the view of murky water with the help of a liquid lens.

The CLOC (clear liquid optical chamber) lens is being tested by a team at Swansea University, who used it in conjunction with a baited remote underwater video (BRUV) system. When tested in field conditions, the combined unit significantly improved the visibility of murky water, proving its application value in difficult and muddy areas like mangroves.

According to Ph.D. student Robyn Jones, “With increases in marine renewable developments globally, there is a need to have a simple, reliable, safe, and repeatable method of monitoring the wildlife communities living around these developments. This CLOC‐BRUV system will allow scientists around the world to closely monitor these environments while minimizing the risk of damage to the seabed infrastructure.”
