The accurate identification and counting of planktonic animals is crucial for aquatic ecological research and water quality assessment. Traditional manual operations are time-consuming and prone to errors. The Aquatic-Z30 zooplankton identification and counting instrument provides efficient and accurate solutions with intelligent technology and perfect design, significantly improving scientific research efficiency and quality.
Rich image libraries and flexible databases are the foundation of identification. The instrument has a built-in expert library of 10 categories, 1239 genera, and 4851 species of planktonic animals, with over 73928 valid images and support for independent expansion. Users can add images to a custom database to achieve personalized resource management and calling.
Deep learning technology has overcome the challenge of recognizing biological images in complex environments, achieving unconditional similarity intelligent search. After the experimenters upload microscopic images, the instrument can quickly match possible species, improve accuracy by combining single image enlargement and multiple group image comparison, and also support free capture of algal images for analysis.
Instrument counting and biomass analysis are efficient and convenient. Classification counting uses differentiated color circles to mark planktonic animals, which can be counted and automatically accumulated by clicking; It can achieve sorting of dominant species, sorting by category, and analysis of community composition percentage. Biomass calculation is accurately calculated through geometric methods, providing data support for ecological research.
The software has complete auxiliary functions and data security is guaranteed. The memory function of the historical counting table is easy to trace and supports image text and dimension annotation. The multi-user system ensures independent data retention, with statistical results output in PDF format and the original data being immutable. The audit tracking function records the operation trajectory, and microscopic photos and statistical data are automatically saved to prevent loss.
Reliable hardware ensures stable operation. The imaging device adopts a scientific grade color CMOS camera and USB 3.0 interface to ensure clear and efficient image acquisition. The microscope interface is compatible with a three eye biological microscope. The entire equipment includes a 10 megapixel camera, adapter, and Zstream analysis system, and can be optionally equipped with a research grade three eye microscope as needed.
With its comprehensive advantages in resources, intelligence, analysis, and data management, Aquatic-Z30 has become a powerful tool for zooplankton research, providing efficient and reliable support for researchers and facilitating the efficient advancement of aquatic biology research.
