Product Details

Product Description:

Configured with an area-scan camera, the P125 provides a field of view of ~80 × 80 mm with a depth of field of ~30 cm, supporting quantitative imaging at tow speeds up to 5.5 knots. When equipped with a line-scan camera, the field of view increases to approximately 115 × 115 mm while maintaining the same depth of field, enabling tow speeds up to 6 knots with an increasing sampled volume.

At 20 frames per second, the line-scan configuration samples nearly 4 liters per image, corresponding to approximately 80 liters of water per second. This high volumetric sampling rate makes the P125 particularly well suited for studies of macroplankton, gelatinous organisms, particle fields, and ecosystem-scale patterns, especially where organisms are sparse or patchily distributed.

On towed vehicle deployments, multiple P125 imagers are often stacked to increase environmental coverage, allowing simultaneous observations across a larger portion of the water column while preserving fine-scale spatial structure that is lost with traditional sampling methods.

The P125 is available in 60 m and 1,000 m depth-rated configurations and integrates seamlessly with SIDEKICK Performance, enabling synchronized imaging and environmental measurements within a field-proven, high-throughput observational system.
