Deep Submersible Particle Size Analyzer
LISST-Deep
The LISST-DEEP instrument obtains in-situmeasurements of particle size distribution,optical transmission, and the opticalvolume scattering function (VSF). Using ared 670nm diode laser and a customsilicon detector, small-angle scatteringfrom suspended particles is sensed at 32specific log-spaced angle ranges. Thismeasurement is post-processed to obtainsediment size distribution, volumeconcentration, optical transmission, andVSF. The electronics and opticalconfiguration in the LISST-DEEP are verysimilar to Sequoia’s workhorse, the LISST-100X. However, because of the extremedifficulty associated with keepingalignment under high pressure, the LISSTDEEPhardware design is radically differentfrom the LISST-100X. This allows theLISST-DEEP to be deployed down to 3000m and obtain reliable measurements ofthe in situ particle size distribution andvolume concentration in waters withoptical transmission up to 98.5%.

Submersible Laser-Diffraction based Particle Size Analyzer
LISST-200X
The LISST-200X is a submersible laser-diffraction based particle size analyzer designed to measure particle size and concentration in rivers, streams, ports, harbors, coasts and oceans, whether for biological, sediment transport, or environmental monitoring needs. Smaller, lighter, smarter, for starters, the LISST-200X combines the features of the original LISST-100X with new improvements to make a major advance in the technology of submersible particle size and concentrations measurements.
